MLB Betting Trends
Minnesota
The Twins are 3-10 in their last 13 road games against a winning team and they have lost their last six games against AL East opponents. They are also 9-20 in Gibson’s last 29 road starts against a winning team.
New York
New York has won seven straight against AL Central opponents and they have won seven of Montgomery’s last nine starts.
Prediction:
The Twins just can’t seem to get on track and it’s hard to see them getting on track at New York with a pitcher like Gibson on the mound. He is giving up too many runs to stop this powerful lineup. Montgomery isn’t great, but he definitely has the better supporting cast.
The Pick: New York Yankees -190
