When it's laid out like that, I'm not saying there should be umpiring shenanigans that nudge the 4 biggest market teams to maximize games, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened.

That might be what it would take because Cleveland and Houston look like pretty heavy favorites to me.

The word "great" should never precede Suzyn Waldman

Correct.

One needs to add 'magnificent' as well.

As in... the great and magnificent Suzyn Waldman.

They should cap the roster at 20 for the wild card game.

It would crack me up if a manager made a really weird roster. Like 4 pitchers, a million pinch runners.

 

[donniesyracuse]

More than twelve hours remain before the first pitch and I am already overcome with anticipation.

I'm from from a Yankees fan - can't stand them actually. But it's hard not to like Aaron Judge.

There are some studs there, many just shells of who they were, but damn does it fall off a cliff FAST!!!

I wonder how Tanaka is enjoying his time in Cleveland?

Yankees are -260 that is free money.

Can't believe it's not -500.

The Twins literally have no chance.

It's baseball and a one game playoff. The worst team in MLB can beat the best team on any given night. All it takes is one bad inning.

The Twins always choke against the Yankees and even when they compete the umpires get extra innings double calls wrong for the Yankees to win.

This game is the biggest lock of the season. Yankees win 5-1. You see the 3 HRs from the Yankees and they win.

You're trying to talk yourself into the outcome you want. Oldest trick in the book.

Yankees are obviously the better team, but in a one game scenario, it's a toss up.

I honestly don't care who care wins.

It's just obvious the Yankees are winning and it doesn't matter because Cleveland is most likely beating either team anyway.
-260 is easy money though. The Twins suck in NY.
