Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees
The Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees continue a series on Tuesday night, and that’s one game to focus on with today MLB parlay.
An AL Central Against AL East Matchup
Minnesota is trying to catch up in the AL Central Division, and the Yankees are trying to hold onto a lead in the AL East.

Minnesota Twins
Minnesota will send Joe Ryan to the mound in this one, and he is 10-7 with a 3.88 ERA on the year. Ryan will need to be dominant in this game as the Twins are a team that continues to struggle to score some runs.
Byron Buxton leads the team with 28 home runs, but he only has 51 RBIs on the year. The Twins have hit for an average of .248, but they have struggled to cash in and get runs across the plate.

Aaron Judge is doing all he can for the Yankees as he leads the way with 54 home runs and 117 RBIs. The rest of the team needs to step up, but New York does have their ace on the mound in this game.
Gerrit Cole is 10-7 with a 3.28 ERA on the year, and he is good enough to take over this game.
