Yankees/Twins - G1

winkyduck · Oct 4, 2004

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

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.

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 · Oct 4, 2004

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.

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.
