Since 2002, the Yankees are 115-42 against the Twins, including 16-2 in the postseason. The Bombers have beaten Minnesota more in the last 20 years than any ballclub has beaten any other team. At some point, it would seem things have to go the other way. Maybe today hints at the pendulum swinging toward Minnesota, or maybe a win by the Yankees makes it seem like all’s right with the world. Either way, the Twins are good, the Yankees are good, and Sunday’s game has a great pitching matchup.
The Yankees feel good any time Gerrit Cole takes the mound for them, but they might need him to be good today.
