A road series in Minnesota comes auspiciously for the Yankees as they hold a vulnerable lead in the wild-card race over the Red Sox and Astros.
The Bombers won two of three from the Twins during an August series and outscored them, 16-7, before allowing a 7-0 flub in the series opener Monday.
The Yankees have spun September on its head, having won five of their last six series heading into this set.
As the Yankees jockey for postseason position, Wednesday’s series finale against these rudderless Twins still plays as meaningful baseball.
New users can apply the BetMGM bonus code NYPDM1500 to activate a 20% deposit match worth up to $1,500 in bonus value.
This is one of BetMGM’s more involved offers, but it can access the highest potential value depending on your bankroll size.
In order to activate the $1,500 in bonus bets, you would need to deposit $7,500 upon signing up for BetMGM.
Keep in mind, this match only applies to your initial deposit.
The catch here is that you must wager 10x your bonus amount within your first 30 days on the platform in order to withdraw your deposit. This is what sportsbooks call a “play-through requirement” or a “rollover.” If you don’t reach this mark, you will forfeit your bonus bets.
So, say a bettor signs up, deposits $1,000 and places $100 on Yankees moneyline Wednesday. They would be 5% of the way toward hitting their rollover requirement. Since they received $200 in bonus bets (20% of $1,000), they would need to hit $2,000 ($200 x 10) worth of betting — regardless of whether those wagers win or lose.
Bonus bets are distributed in $20 increments and have a lifespan of seven days at BetMGM.

The Yankees’ erratic results down the summer stretch may have cost them their shot at the AL East, but make no mistake, this team still leads MLB in wRC+ per FanGraphs.
They have also quietly compensated for its pitching staff challenges by allowing a top 10% lowest xSLG to opposing hitters and a top-10 ranking in xFIP (4.04).
Meanwhile, the Twins are counting the days until this miserable season’s end — where they went from a playoff contender to one of baseball’s most futile clubs with a run differential of minus-82.
For what it’s worth, they have performed more honorably at Target Field than away from it this year, holding a 37-39 and 29-46 record, respectively.
