We're thinking this price might be a little off with a surprising lack of respect for the Yankees (Yankees...lack of respect?), who have allowed just one run across the last two nights at Target Field while winning the first two of this midweek set against the Twins. Perhaps because Joe Ryan (3.21 ERA, 0.99 WHIP) is on the mound for Minnesota, but that would discount the excellent work by Clarke Schmidt on the Yankees side and the fact he's posted a 2.65 ERA since the start of April. Moreover, the Yanks have won in six of his last seven starts, and NY is cruising along at 29-15 and 16-9 on the road, atop the AL East. Play Yankees on Money Line
Clarke Schmidt has won seven of his last eight starts for the Yankees, his last one was his best start of the season a 2-0 win over Tampa Bay where he went 6 and 2/3 and allowed no runs. That's seven wins, and one loss against Baltimore. I think he's got enough to beat Joe Ryan on Thursday. The Yankees have had the Twins number. And the Yankees are smoking the ball right now playing great ball, pitching and hitting. Yankees win.
