Neither Jordan Montgomery nor Jose Berrios have been in good form recently. But Berrios is the better pitcher, the Twins opened as home 'dogs and the spot is ripe to go against the Yankees here.

New York beat Minnesota last night, but is just 10-21 in its last 31 games. The Yankees are 1-9 following a victory. They have lost five of Montgomery's past seven road starts.

The Yankees are excited about acquiring Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the White Sox on Tuesday. That's a great move for them, but that buzz is a distraction for this game.

Berrios is a stud prospect. He's been tremendous at home this season going 4-1 with a 2.86 ERA. The Twins are 9-4 in his last 13 starts.

Montgomery doesn't have Berrios' high ceiling. He has a 5.27 ERA in his last three starts giving up 18 hits and four walks in 13 2/3 innings during this span,
