Do the Yankees win tonight, Steve?

by **steveschneider** Tue 3 Oct 2017 - 10:52

I'm going Twins and Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks have Grienke on the mound tonight.

I think the Twins have a decent shot tonight and since there's a surprise here and there in the playoffs I'm picking the Twins.

Pulled from Baseball Reference:

Regular season Twins record vs Yankees

NYY 2 4 19 27 .333

From NY Daily News:

Ervin Santana possibly enjoyed the best season of his 13-year career (16-8, 3.28 ERA), but he’s 6-10 with a 5.66 ERA in 20 career starts against the Yanks.

Sevirino Yankee pitcher lasted only three innings vs Twins last start in September.

From the NYPost:

Ervin Santana is 0-5 with a 6.43 ERA in six career starts at this version of Yankee Stadium. But in his last two starts there, the veteran righty has yielded just three runs in 10²/₃ innings, including two runs in 5²/₃ innings on Sept. 18.

---

From what I've read though Santana has been pitching really well in September. Twins need to get their runs early, if they're down after the 5th inning the Yankees have a huge advantage with their bullpen.

Doesn't matter, winner of tonight's game wins at most 1 against Cleveland

The Yankees would be a more entertaining series at least.

So twins first 5 innings?

I'm fired up about Cubs/Nationals. Rooting for the Nationals, sorry ghost.

The Twins have a veteran pitcher starting, and they are hitting well. Last time vs Yankees he lost 2-1. He gave up 2 runs and 7 hits in 5 1/3 innings. If he matches that performance we have a game. Twins are hitting well right now and the twins also play good on the road. If I were betting I'd probably put a small bet on the Twins with the money line just to make the game more interesting.

Indians over dodgers

Thanks bro, your insight means the world to me. Anyone have the number for the gambling hotline?

Tigers beat the Padres. 5 games.

LOL why you sorry to me?

Dodgers are gonna only win one playoff game, at the most. Hard to say who'll win it all but going with the hot teams then maybe a rematch of last year.

He said sorry because we thought you were a Cubs fan

Yea. I thought ghost was a Cubs fan.

It would be really cool to see JV/Max in the WS against each other.

Max is hurt isn't he? Dumbass Dusty Baker starting him in a meaningless game might cost them a shot.

Oh snap. Have not heard that

In 2012 Nats shut down their ace and a lot of people argue it cost them the series that year.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Hamstring injury. He'll be pitching but who knows how it will impact his game.

I don't think the Dodgers get there, though the NL seems to be the more interesting side of the playoffs.

As much as I don't like them, I think the AL gets interesting if the Yankees win tonight.

Houston v Cleveland could be fun...
.....as Cleveland sweeps through.

This is so true. Some of my most die hard tiger fan friends who have moved to Chicago were all over Facebook with their gear.

I'll take that as a yes (you would prefer Curt Schilling).

Any particular reason you don't like a woman of Mexican descent doing the broadcast?
