  • The American League Division Series (ALDS) begins on October 4 for the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins.
  • The Twins were knocked out of postseason runs when they’ve played the Yankees on four separate occasions; in 2003, 2004, 2009, and 2010.
  • Minnesota has odds of +1300 to win the World Series, a huge difference from the odds awarded to New York.

NEW YORK – The New York Yankees (103-59) could take home a World Series title if bookies have any say over the matter. New York is currently holding odds of +350 to win the Championship. Coming in first are the Houston Astros (107-55) with odds of +190 and then the Los Angeles Dodgers (106-56) with +250 at NY sportsbooks. The Yankees have not won a World Series Championship since 2009.

New York clinched their division title in the AL East, even with a season where 30 separate players were on the Injured List at some point during the year. On their trek to the Series, they first must play the Minnesota Twins (101-61) of the AL Central division to seal a chance at the American League Pennant. The Yankees and the Twins will participate in a round of five games. Whichever team wins three games first will move on to the AL Pennant championship.

Back in July, the Yankees and the Twins had a battle that went into extra innings, ultimately handing New York the win 14-12. However, it shows what a formidable opponent Minnesota is for the dynasty. Aaron Boone, the head coach for the Yankees has said of the July meetings that the Twins are a beast of a team. The Twins refer to the Yankees as a dragon they have to slay. The series between the two looks to be one of beasts and dragons. And you thought the “Game of Thrones” was over.

“We’ve got to play our best baseball. Period. End of story,’’ said Brian Cashman, Yankees’ General Manager. “Do everything in our power to find a way to get past them. We’re really excited for the opportunity. Our first step in this process was to win the division so we didn’t have to deal with the wild-card issue. That’s Phase I. Phase II is to try to find a way to get through this series. They happen to be our opponent and they’ll be a handful.’’

With the New York Yankees having such favorable odds when it comes to the World Series compared to the Minnesota Twins, they could very well be the first team to win three out of five and advance to the Pennant series. Game One starts on October 4 in the Bronx. Based on their July meetings, it’s sure to be a slugfest you won’t want to miss.

  • Pitcher CC Sabathia has been dealing with knee inflammation for the past 6 years.
  • The New York Yankees have +333 odds to win the 2019 World Series.
  • Their odds to win the AL pennant are +160.

NEW YORK – The New York Yankees have more woes to report with their pitching staff. Left-handed pitcher CC Sabathia has been placed on the Injured List for 10 days after experiencing a knee inflammation. Sabathia is 39 and expected to retire at the end of the season. While he’s been placed on the 10-day list, there’s no exact timeline as to when he will return.

The Yankees 4 game series with the Boston Red Sox came with 4 losses and a ton of runs. Their worst showing was their first game where they lost by 16 runs with the final score being 3-19. In the last 7 games, New York’s bullpen has given up an astonishing 73 runs to their opponents. In the last month, the pitching staff has averaged an overall ERA of 7.09, the second-worst averaged ERA in the MLB.

The Bullpen Needs Help

Veteran Sabathia is just the latest gut punch for the Yankees pitching team. In the last 8 innings he’s pitched, he’s given up 6 home runs and 11 earned runs. These innings took place between two games where he was the starting pitcher. He has no been able to pitch for longer than half of a game without needing relief in his last few outings.

“We’ve been the reason why we’ve been losing games,” said Sabathia of his fellow pitchers. However, pitching coach Larry Rothschild believes he is the reason for his players’ poor performance.

“It’s my responsibility to get it right,” said Rothschild.

The New York Yankees are in 1st place in the AL East with a record of 67-38 so far this season. That’s 7 more wins than the Tampa Bay Rays who are in 2nd place. While the Yankees will undoubtedly have a chance at postseason play given their record and the season being halfway over, SportsBettingNewYork.com knows they’ll need a squad of pitchers that can get them there.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will face the New York Yankees on Tuesday, July 30th at 7:05 pm ET. The starting pitcher for New York will be LHP J.A. Happ who has an ERA of 5.23 and an 8-5 record for the season. The game will be broadcast on the YES Network.
