The Picks MLB The Pick: Yankees -1.5 (-140) --Right now, the plan is to keep riding the Yankees until they give us a reason not to. New York comes into this series having just swept Boston to move into second place in the division and they have won six straight overall. They're facing a Minnesota team in full-blown rebuild mode after trading nearly everything of value before the deadline. Tonight the Yankees will face Minnesota starter John Gant, who recently came over from St. Louis, and he's not the most intimidating presence.
