TOP RATED 10* MLB BIG HITTER
(MLB) Minnesota vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -146.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Win
The current owners of the two Wild Cards in the American League will clash in the Bronx Tuesday night. The Yankees claimed the series-opener 2-1 on Monday to make it eight wins in their last 10 games, and I like the Bronx Bombers to keep rolling here with CC Sabathia on the mound.

CC Sabathia (11-5, 3.85 ERA) has held three of his last four opponents to one run. The veteran southpaw is 18-9 with a 3.16 ERA in 37 career starts against Minnesota and has the current Twins limited to a .216 batting average. The Twins are 3-10 in their last 13 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Yankees are 7-1 in Sabathia's last eight starts against the Twins who turn to Jose Berrios (12-7, 3.84 ERA). The 23 year old held the Yankees to one run in 6 2/3 innings at Target Field back in July, but he has been far better at home than on the road where he's 4-6 with a bloated 5.14 ERA on the season.

The Twins are 0-9 in Berrios' last nine road starts. The Yankees are 8-1 in their last nine games vs. a right-handed starter and 6-1 in their last seven home games.

My selection is a 10* play on NY Yankees.
