The Twinkies needed an extra game, but they finally disposed of the Tigers, capturing the American League Central division. The reward was a quick trip to the airport to head to New York for a game the next night.

Online sportsbooks opened the series with the Twins as underdogs in series price betting at +300, while the series price for the Yanks is -400.

After losing the opener 7-2, Minnesota is now 5-16 in their last 21 games against the Bronx Bombers and currently on an eight-game Yankee losing streak.

The Twins have been equally atrocious in the Big Apple going 4-17 in their last 21 and are currently mired in a nine-game road slide vs. the Evil Empire.

The other ALDS matchup sees the Boston Red Sox in Los Angeles to play the Angels.

Playoff Baseball Odds: The BoSox are favored to take the series at -130 and the Angels are +110 underdogs.

Game 1 for the Boston-L.A. Angels series will go Thursday with the Red Sox listed at -110 and the Angels are paying out at Even money.

John Lackey will get the start for the Angels and in his last 17 outings against the BoSox, the LAA have struggled mightily going 3-14 SU.

Boston is also 9-1 SU in 10 meetings with the Angels in the month of October.

The defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies will truly begin defense of their title (regular season doesn’t count) in a National League Divisional Series against the Colorado Rockies.

The Phillies are favored at -160 and the Rockies are +145 in Series Price betting.

In the last 12 overall games between the two, the Over has cashed 8 times while the Under has 4 times.

Philly took Game 1 by a score of 5-1, covering at -125.

The final playoff series in the National League will see the -145 St. Louis Cardinals playing the +115 Los Angeles Dodgers.

Game 2 of their series begins on Thursday and Clayton Kershaw gets the start for the Dodgers.

Kershaw has struggled lately, as the Dodgers are 2-9 SU in his last 11 starts but the Under has been a solid play, cashing in 8 times during that same stretch.

Adam Wainwright takes the mound for the Cards and in his last 10 road starts, St. Louis has been hot going 10-0 SU. Good luck betting the MLB playoffs.
