The Line:
Minn +110 8.5 u -118
NYY -118 8.5 u 108
Pitchers:
J.Santana (L) 20-6 2.61 ERA
M.Mussina (R) 12-9 4.59 ERA
Trends:
• MIN is 3-17 in the last 20 meetings.
• Minnesota is 9-1 in Santana's last 10 starts.
• Twins are 2-7 in their last nine road games.
• Yankees are 6-2 in Mussina's last eight starts.
• Under is 5-1 in New York's last six overall.
• Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in NY.
Notes:
MINNESOTA: The Twins went 45-30 against the AL Central this year. ... 2B Luis Rivas sat out Sunday with a sore elbow and will probably be used as a late-inning defensive or pinch-running replacement in the playoffs with Michael Cuddyer starting. ... Injuries limited LF Shannon Stewart to 92 games, but he had two or more hits in 36 of those.
NEW YORK: Manager Joe Torre didn't stay in Toronto while serving his one-game suspension on Saturday _ he returned home to New York to see his daughter's soccer game. ``People were afraid to ask me what I was doing there. They were like, `Aren't you supposed to be in Toronto?''' Torre said. ``When I told them I was suspended, they didn't believe me.'' Torre served a one-game suspension because one of his pitchers threw at a batter after warnings were issued in Boston last Sunday.
Interesting Stats:
Santana in the last 69 innings allowed only 7 runs
Mussina in the last 63 innings has allowed 29 runs
Yankees are 0-3 in the game one of the series the past 3 years
ANALYSIS:
The best pitcher in baseball versus the Evil Empire? Damn. I have to go with the pitching here. Santana is freaking unhittable lately. Mussina always seems to pitch well versus the twinkees and you always have october mystic with the yankees but I can not see Santana giving up more than 2-3 runs today and unless moose's curveball is sickening today, the twins will hammer him.
When was the last time you got Santana at basically even money?
I am on the Twinkees (its a cheat day)
