Yankees/Twins - G1

[winkyduck]

Mussina +105

i know santana is red hot - and pitching lights out - but mussina in the post-season and especially against the twinkies is even better

add in the fact the yankees own the twins and that's good enough for me

Mussina +105 in G1 is too much for me to pass up

 

[upsman]

I agree , yankees a home dog I ' ll take it.I think Mussina keeps

it close and the yanks win it late.

be careful boys. this line opened at pinny with the yanks -120. somebody pounded the twinkies.

according to this - the line opened twins -120ish meaning people are pounding the yankees:

just going by pinnacle. not saying its indicative of all betting. i checked pinny right after the lines went up this weekend and thought about hitting santana as a dog...he wasn't a dog for long.

good luck whichever way you go winky.

Love Santana. He will definitely shut the yanks down as pitching dominates the playoffs.

same matchup as gm 1 last year. twins beat mussina 3-1 in new york...fwiw.

 

[MadCapper]

dont think mussina started game 1. and def dont think santana did either.

i'd bet my left nut that santana pitches more than 4 innings this year.

Blue are u sure it opened NYY as favorite? I find that hard to believe...maybe it was backwards....Mussina has OWNED the TWINS lifetime...

 

[Journeyman]

It is a rematch, I remember it well....it looked like NY was in deep trouble when Mr Reliable Andy Pettite came to the rescue in game 2, winning 4-1, and order was restored.

i am pretty sure. i had been drinking a little when i looked at it. but, i looked at it and thought, "hmmm santana is a dog...i should take him". then, when i pulled it up this morning he was a favorite.

maybe i'm wrong.

go back and see the 4th post in this thread - i posted a link to vegas insider's site and the opening number - minny was the opening fave

 

[bookemdano]

WINKY...dont yankees have a history of losing game 1 in most series in recent years??

 

[blueedwards]

yes, i saw that. isn't it possible that pinny had different numbers than the vegas books?

Wink,

Mussina has pitched OK in post season but in 2002,2003 in games he started in the post season the yankees are 1-4. Including 0-1 against the twins.
