It's a short best-of-five series between the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins. The Yankees won the AL East while the Twins took the Central Division title with a late win against the Detroit Tigers. Although NY swept the Twins in all seven of their matches during the regular season, and although they outscored their foes 41-25 in those matches, this is going to be a great series.
NY-Min match-up
catcher: Jose Molina vs. Joe Mauer
pitcher: CC Sabathia vs. Brian Duensing
first base: Mark Teixiera vs. Michael Cuddyer
second base: Robinson Cano vs. Nick Punto
third base: Alex Rodriguez vs. Matt Tolbert
shortstop: Derek Jeter vs. Orlando Cabrera
left field: Johnny Damon vs. Delmon Young
centerfield: Melky Cabrera vs. Denard Span
right field: Nick Swisher vs. Jason Kubel
designated hitter: Hideki Matsui vs. Jose Morales
New York will have Jerry Hairston Jr, Eric Hinske, Brett Gardner, and even Jorge Posada as utility for the first game.
My prediction: New York in three.
