<h2>Tuesday's Pitching Match-Up </h2>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/48274&quot; title="Gerrit Cole Pitching Game Stats">Cole</a> is 17/27 on quality starts this season and four for his last five. Last Wednesday, he gave up three runs - all on one swing of the bat - and six hits through seven innings of a 3-2 New York loss to the Angels. And over his last five starts, he's allowed eight earned runs and 23 hits through 33 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>The Yankees are 16-11 with Cole this season, and that's even a couple of games worse than they should be, based on his performances.</p>
<p>Over his last three starts against Minnesota, two last year (good) and one earlier this season (bad), Cole allowed nine runs and 18 hits, including seven home runs, through 14 1/3 innings. New York won all three of those games.</p>

Last Wednesday, he got touched by Boston for five runs and eight hits through five innings of a 6-5 Twins loss. But over his two starts previous to that, he allowed just two runs and four hits through 12 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>Minnesota is 13-9 with Ryan this season, and that's about what they should be.</p>
