Ryan Weathers will pitch for the New York Yankees. The left-hander has a 4.09 ERA. Weathers needs to contain Minnesota early on, as the visitors have gained significant offensive momentum following their 11-4 victory.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The Yankees are playing at home, but their current form doesn't suggest a high run output. Ryan boasts a 3.62 ERA and performs well against New York's current lineup. In the two games of the series, the hosts scored five and four runs, with the offense failing to rally in the second game after falling behind early. Minnesota have shown increased confidence in recent games and can maintain a tight scenario thanks to their starting pitcher's performance. For the line to hold, the Yankees need to score no more than four runs. The starting duel and the hosts' recent form support this scenario. Editorial choice: New York Yankees individual total under 4.5.
