This is a 10* on OVER

The red-hot Yankees, now in Wild Card position, look to win a seventh straight game on Thursday. They just swept Boston and have allowed all of 14 runs in the past six games. Now they face Minnesota, who is also hot. The Twins have won 9 of their last 13 games and four straight series. Three of those series were against first place teams. They put up eight runs yesterday in an 11-inning win over Cleveland. It was impressive that Minnesota was able to come back and win that game considering the Indians scored a run in each of the first five innings. We can’t trust Thursday’s starter John Gant going against the Yankees, can we? Gant has a 9.90 ERA and 1.80 WHIP over his previous three starts. This is his first start for the Twins after being traded from St. Louis. In his last 14 innings of work, Gant has allowed 18 runs. So the Yankees should score plenty tonight. But how many will Minnesota score? All three games vs. the Yankees earlier in the year went Over as have 10 of the last 12 meetings. So we think they’ll score enough off Jameson Taillon to help get this one Over. Play on OVER
