Houston clinched the top spot last night. So this is the matchup. The Twins got some good news on the injury front as projected game 2 starter, Jake Odorizzi, only had a hamstring cramp and was not seriously injured. The Yanks got some good and bad news on the injury front this past week. Urshela and Sanchez returned to the lineup, but Encarnacion isn’t recovered yet and may miss the first round of the playoffs. The projected rotation is as follows
Game 1- Berrios at Paxton
Game 2- Odorizzi at Tanaka
Game 3- Severino at Gibson
Game 4- Happ (pen) at Perez
Should be a good one, but if history is at all useful, facing the Twins isn’t a bad thing for us come playoffs
