This is a 10* on the YANKEES

The Yankees won yesterday 8-4. It’s been a rough season for Minnesota. They are last in the Central with a 24-36 record. The Yankees are 32-29, probably a disappointment to some, but they are 18-8 outside the AL East. They play in the deepest division in the American League as everyone but Baltimore is good. But they’ve really beat up on everyone else. The Yankees have played the most division games of anyone in the East. What we’re trying to say here is they are going to win again today. Gerritt Cole is starting. We can’t believe the team is only 6-6 in his 12 starts. Cole’s last start was one of his worst. Not to give him a “pass,” but it did come against Tampa Bay. In one-third of his starts, Cole has not allowed a run. In 10 of the 12, he’s allowed two or less runs. No confidence in Randy Dobnak starting opposite Cole for the Twins. Pay little attention to the ongoing “controversy” surrounding Cole and “illegal substances.” The Yankees are 27-11 all-time at Target Field. Play on NY YANKEES
