s*** luck plays into a lot of this. Theoretically, the Twins shouldnt even take one game. They have a worse lineup by far. They have a worse 1-2 punch at the end of the bullpen by far. And they have a worse rotation by far. Heck, even the defense is about even. The Twins have no advantages over NY, but the game of baseball can be funny sometimes.
That being said, the best playoff pitchers we seem to remember are all power pitchers. And a rotation of Duensing, Pavano, Baker is about as powerless as you get. Looking to NY, CC, AJ and Joba are all power pitchers, so we should win this series hands down. But, a hot team coming in with the right attitude and they get the calls and the bounces can win any series
