Twins head to the Bronx for Game 2 against the Yankees, leaning on a bullpen-first approach after a 6-2 loss in the series opener. Minnesota hands the ball to a TBD starter while Carlos Rodón starts for New York, a matchup that leans Bronx-ward given Rodón’s home-form and the Yankees’ power display in Game 1 with Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton, Ben Rice, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. driving the offense and Will Warren delivering 6.2 innings of two-run ball for the Twins.

Odds place the Yankees as the favorite at -220 on the moneyline with a -1.5 spread and a 9.0 total. NBC Sports’ model backs the Bronx squad on the moneyline, with a lean toward the Yankees /> at -1.5 and no strong bet on the total. Trends note Rodón’s strong home record and a lingering dip in Judge’s production since returning from the DL, while Goldschmidt’s recent slump and the surrounding Yankee lineup context shape the betting and lineup decisions for this showdown.
