The Minnesota Twins make their first postseason appearance in seven years — and they see the same foes that dispatched them in the 2010 American League Division Series, as they head to Yankee Stadium to take on the Baby Bombers. Over the course of the regular season, the Yankees won four of the six meetings between the two teams — but the wild card comes down to one game. The winner will go on to face the Cleveland Indians in the American League Division Series. Can the Yankees hold off the pesky Twins? Or will Minnesota post the upset and send New York home after just one playoff game? Check out our MLB betting preview for the AL Wild Card game, with the latest MLB Playoffs odds.
