The Yankees came from behind to take the opener from the Twins and hold a 1-0 lead coming into game two. The oddsmakers are really making you pay a huge price if you like the Yankees and the pendulum of value has swung in the favor of the Twins regardless of the resulting outcome, it is simply the right side. The Twins played four games at Yankee Stadium this season and never faced a moneyline of over -185. That series included AJ Burnett on the mound for the Yankees at -156, so now he is -300? There is certainly no value in that on the Yankees and plenty on the Twins. The Twins played competitively in every single game and three of the four required 9th inning Yankee heroics to win. While the Yankees have played better, so have the Twins coming into this one at 17-5 in their last 22 games and they are also 21-6 in their last 27 vs a righthander. Posada won't play in this one, so he either gets the DH nod or sits, but in either case it takes a bat out of the lineup with Molina behind the plate. These odds are way to long and I'm backing the Twins here.
