ALCS - Better to play the Yankees in 5 or a 7 game series? The Minnesota Twins pounded the Kansas City Royals 8-1 to clinch at least the American League wild card on Monday, assuring a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons and, if they so choose, a chance to win the AL Central. That's a choice they should decline. Dan Wetzel proposes it will be easier to face the Yankees in a 5 game division series rather than in the 7 game series. Torii Hunter agrees.

As a Twins fan, I worry that it will be tough to beat the Yankees under ANY circumstances. When you can bat Matsui 9th, your lineup is obviously loaded. Getting the first two games at the Dome against Oakland would be the preferred choice, since we could bring Santana back for Game 5 at home. Plus I think Detroit has a decent shot at beating New York, with their depth of pitching across the board. (admin: no need for bold)
