NYY: Mussina (1-0, 2.77 ERA)
MIN: Baker (0-1, 6.23 ERA)
The Twins hope they get more respect from the Yankees on Friday than they do from Vegas oddsmakers, who peg them as underdogs.
The Yankees start Mike Mussina, 1-0, 2.77 ERA. His last trip was a win, a 10-1 team win against the Angels, when he threw 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits.
Sporting a 4-5 overall record and a 0-3 mark within the division, the Twins aim to knock the Yankees (0-0 in the division) for a loss.
The Yankees (5-4) opened as 165 favorites and they face a Twins team that has won 4 of their 9 games this season. The total opened at 10.
Last time out, at Yankee Stadium against Kansas City, the Yankees as favorites defeated the Royals 9-3. That game was an over play.
The Twins defeated the Athletics 8-2 as underdogs. That contest went over the closing total.
Don't expect Minnesota to beat themselves at the plate by striking out a lot. The selective Twins batters are in the top three in the league, fanning just 5.2 times per game.
Some trends to consider:
New York is 3-6-0 OU in its last 9 away
New York is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 games against Minnesota
New York is 6-2-0 SU in its last 8 games after scoring 7 to 9 runs
New York is 7-1-1 OU in its last 9 games away against Minnesota
Minnesota is 6-1-0 OU in its last 7 at home
Minnesota is 7-1-1 OU in its last 9 games at home against New York
Minnesota is 7-2-1 OU in its last 10 games
Minnesota is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 games against New York
