Minnesota Twins plus-102 vs. New York Yankees: $500 to win $510
The Yankees should be fully zombified by the time they take the field tonight in Minnesota after playing 34 innings in the past two days (a 16-inning marathon against the Red Sox on Saturday followed by a double-header the next day), so the Twins should be the livelier team.
Minnesota right-hander Adalberto Mejia has been decent in his last four starts (3-1, 24.1 innings, 7 ER), and when you throw in the fact that rookie slugger Aaron Judge has struggled since the all-star break (1-for-18 with zero RBI's in an admittedly small sample size), I don't like this matchup very much for the Yankees' offense.
A grueling weekend of baseball followed by a flight to Minnesota isn't an ideal spot for the Yankees. I'll take the rested home team.
Current Standings: Granger (3-2, $10,622), Keefer (2-1, $10,429), Brewer (2-2, $10,000), Grimala (0-1, $9,500)
