Twins’ plan to end Yankees horrors is top secret
“No, we’re going to wait until the very last minute to talk about what any of our players are going to be doing,” manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters when asked who will take the mound against the Yankees on Friday in The Bronx for Game 1 of the ALDS.
It’s likely between Jake Odorizzi and Jose Berrios, who were far-and-away Minnesota’s two best starters this season.

I won’t reveal how I got it, but I have their top secret plan - score more runs than the Yankees. |

Buster Olney: If the two teams play to form and the series goes to five games, we might see something in the range of 20 to 25 home runs in the series. But I don't think that'll happen -- as the heart rates increase, the pitching performances generally improve. I'll say the Twins hit more home runs but not so many more that the Bomba Squad pushes the team to a series win.
Bradford Doolittle: I'll cheat and say they will tie. After all, the Twins hit only one more than New York over 162 games. But I do this to make a point: Both teams will rely on homers to move the scoreboard, but the team that wins will have more runners on base when the dingers fly. I like the Yankees to be that team.
David Schoenfield: Yes, the team that hits more home runs will win the series -- as is almost always the case in October baseball these days. That team will be ... the Yankees. Sorry, Twins, your postseason horror story against the Yankees will continue. As powerful as the Minnesota offense was this year, the Twins did take advantage of three horrible pitching staffs in their division, and while they slugged .531 against bad teams, they slugged .443 against good teams. That's a much wider difference than any other playoff team.

Take game one and don't give the Twinkies any hope! I worry a little bit about Paxton. Minnesota led baseball in OPS against left handed pitching with a .285/.351/.521 line. |

Boone said CC would not be on the play off roster (which has not been announced as far as I know).

Then the Yankee organization significantly altered those comments...
