The SportsLine model pins Tuesday’s MLB slate to a trio of high-value bets: Yankees-Twins Over 9, Mariners to beat Royals, and Phillies-Dodgers Over 7.5, plus a Dodgers-Phillies showdown headlined by Ohtani vs Sanchez. The piece highlights a Yankees offense pacing MLB and Judge’s hot stretch, Zebby Matthews’ Twins start, and Seattle’s late-season surge as pivotal angles for fantasy managers and bettors. It notes strong promo incentives and a long-running model track record, framing a disciplined, numbers-driven playbook for Tuesday’s action.

Across the board, the model simulates every game 10,000 times to produce confident leans and a +554 parlay if you lock in all three picks at DraftKings. The narrative blends star power (Ohtani, Harper, Freeman, Schwarber, Judge) with practical bets—Over outcomes, Moneyline value, and a focus on how workload and lineups shape both nightly fantasy value and sportsbook results. It’s a guide to structured exposure and intelligent risk on an MLB Tuesday.

Twins catchers face a late-season hurdle as Christian Vázquez fights a left-shoulder infection and Ryan Jeffers recovers from a concussion, forcing a temporary platoon with Mickey Gasper and Jhonny Pereda handling the duties. Vázquez is eyeing a rehab stint with the St. Paul Saints, while Jeffers’ return hinges on concussion recovery. Minnesota deploys a six-man rotation down the stretch, with Zebby Matthews set to duel the Yankees as Taj Bradley waits in the wings. Pablo López headlines off-field impact, winning the Clemente Award for notable charitable work.

Vázquez and Jeffers’ health reshapes the Twins’ lineup chemistry and fantasy projections down the final two weeks. Meanwhile López’s leadership and community effort add a steadying presence, and the club’s rehab pipeline—paired with minor-league calls—keeps speculative value alive for late-season adds. The series against New York looms as a proving ground for the refreshed rotation and the depth behind the plate.

Week 24 starting-pitcher waiver wire for 2025 (Sept 8-14) highlights free-agent arms rostered 30-50% in Yahoo! leagues, led by Noah Cameron, Luis Morales, Justin Verlander, Ryan Bergert, and Payton Tolle. Cameron and Morales offer respectable ratios and wins as the Royals and Athletics stay in playoff chase; Verlander has surged with multiple strong outings. Deeper leagues get a look at Ian Seymour, Emmet Sheehan, Shane Smith, Martin Perez, Zebby Matthews, and Brandon Sproat (all under 30%), plus late-week streams from Stephen Kolek, Javier Assad, Michael Lorenzen, and Johan Oviedo.

Targets emphasize pitchers with ongoing rotation roles, improving peripherals, and favorable next-week matchups (Guardians, Angels, Rockies, Athletics). The piece stresses staying active and proactive as the schedule winds down, with several under-the-radar arms offering multi-start potential or favorable opponents in Week 24.

The Twins blew a two-run lead in the ninth as Michael A. Taylor delivered a two-out, go-ahead double down the left-field line to lift Chicago to a 4-3 win at Target Field. Minnesota’s bullpen couldn’t close the door after Zebby Matthews worked six innings of one-run ball, and the rally hopes fizzled when Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach sparked a late frame but came up short against Jordan Leasure.

Minnesota remains far from the postseason picture, sitting 10½ games out and 15 below .500, while Chicago pushed its fragile momentum forward in a series that has felt unkind to the Twins. The Twins’ early damage came via Luke Keaschall and Matt Wallner, but the late miscue and a 205-run deficit narrative in trailing after eight innings underscored how thin the margins have become.

Matthews’ six-inning gem offered a glimmer for Minnesota’s rotation outlook, even as the bullpen faltered at the end. Chicago’s offbeat punchline status has a sting to it, but the White Sox found a chance to steal a win in a tight, chilly night at Target Field.
