The New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins square off in one half of the American League Divisional Series, with Minnesota looking to slay the dragon that has made their life miserable dating back to 2009. The Yankees beat them in the one-game Wild Card game in 2017, and in back-to-back divisional series in 2009 and 2010.
Both teams finished the season north of 100 wins, with the Yankees winning 103 and the Twins 101. The Yankees hold home field advantage in the series, but the Twins were great on the road — leading the majors with a 55-26 record. The Yankees won the season series between these two 4-2.
