Pitchers clash in Minnesota
Teams are now over 20 games into the season and trends are starting to form around the 2023 MLB season.
You can see the potential contenders from those who are continuing to rebuild with future seasons in sight.
One of the matches of the day pits two divisional challengers against each other in the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins.
On the mound for the Yankees is young gun Jhony Brito who bounced back to form last outing with a dazzling display.
However will it be a case of Deja vu as he faces a Twins line up that put 9 runs up against him in the first frame the last time they clashed.
Sonny Gray lines up for Minnesota and has been near untouchable this year, sporting a 0.82 ERA.
This is one mouth-watering clash.
New York Yankees @ Minnesota Twins
MLB Betting Odds: Yankees $2.22 / Twins $1.70
Monday night baseball heads to Target Field in Minnesota with a crucial American League game taking place.
Sonny Gray has had a dazzling start to 2023 but will be looking to beat his demons as he faces his former team.
Over the 7 times he has faced the Yankees, he carries a 1-2 record and a 4.04 ERA. Hardly impressive stuff.
With the crowd and team's firepower behind him, he will look to right his past wrongs.
On the flip side, Britos has looked good to start the season except for one game.
This was against the Twins where he was blasted out of the game before he knew what happened.
He will also be looking to bounce back hard.
Free MLB Expert Pick: Under 9 runs @ $2
Reasoning: This match up is of two pitchers right on top of their game. The over/unders of 9 runs looks great value and should be closer to 7.5, with both pitchers playing well.
