Not many things in life are guaranteed, but the Yankees beating the Twins is one of them. They’ve simply manhandled the Twinkies over the last decade or so, winning 63 of 80 total games, playoffs included. One of these days I’m going to dig up the run differential, I bet it’s over a hundred runs in favor of New York. Now expecting any team to sweep any team in a four-game series is a bit unfair, but it’s reasonable to be very confident about the Yankees’ ability to raise some hell this week. Here’s the lineup…
SS Derek Jeter
CF Curtis Granderson
3B Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
1B Mark Teixeira
RF Nick Swisher
DH Raul Ibanez
C Russell Martin
LF Brett Gardner
RHP Freddy Garcia
Tonight’s game starts a little after 7pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and ESPN nationally. Enjoy.
