It's why he spent so much time creating a jutsu that requires no seals: so he could cast it in an instant. And he does, against obito he forms a rasengan in a fraction of a second. Not just that, but he grabs baby Naruto from Obito with pure Shunshin, against a Sharingan user mind you. Everything Minato does is designed that he can act fast, attack fast, retreat fast, and attack again.

In this fight, the easiest road for Minato to win is to use this and his knowledge of jutsu to disable Naruto's seal. That would pretty much be an instant-win condition. Unlike Minato, Naruto can't make instant Rasengan, and while he's fast he doesn't have Spacetime ninjutsu like that. Rasengan are meaningless against Bijudama, yet Minato can just match that with his own Bijudama. Both have Kurama to back the other up, and both were perfectly willing to cooperate.

So it seems to me that Minato has good odds of winning.
