The Yankees will face the Twins in the postseason for the sixth time — and second time in three years. In all five previous matchups, the Yankees came out on top and will be favored to do so again. They have won 13 of their last 15 postseason games versus Minnesota and overcame a 3-0 first-inning deficit in the 2017 wild-card game. The Twins will present their share of challenges — starting with a powerful lineup that hit an MLB-record 307 homers, one more than the Yankees, as the two teams represented the Year of the Homer better than anyone.
