Game 1 of the Yankees vs Twins 1st round MLB playoff series starts this afternoon and we have the betting odds and picks.
The start time of the Yankees vs Twins MLB playoff game on Wednesday is 6:07 PM ET and we have the betting odds and picks ready to go on this TBS-televised game.
Bookmaker Sportsbook has the MLB playoff betting odds ready for picks and it looks like the home-team Yankees (103-59) are favored at -375 as they get set to take on the Cinderella story Twins (87-76) in game 1 of this American League contest. The betting public is all over the Yankees and bet-tracking consensus websites are showing that people are making their picks on New York’s odds at roughly an 80% rate.
The Twins have a road record of 38-43 on the season while the Yankees have been 57-24 in their new home digs. These two MLB playoff teams have met up 7 times this season and New York has been victorious in every single game with 4 coming at home.
It looks like the Twins will go with Brian Duensing (5-2, 3.64 ERA) in this one and the lefty has never faced New York. The Yankees do hit .286 against left-handed pitchers this season, however, and have been the winning betting picks against the Twins 25 of the last 30 meetings in New York.
New York is going with their ace, C.C. Sabathia (19-8, 3.37 ERA), and Sabathia gave up 1 earned run over 7 innings in his only meeting against the Twins this season. The team that Sabathia started for has covered the odds in 6 of his last 7 meetings against Minnesota overall and he hasn’t allowed more than 2 earned runs in any of those games.
Those odds are super high but we have to recommend making our betting picks on the Yankees and also on the Under 9.5 runs considering how dominant Sabathia has been.
