Given the peerless power of the New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins, the AL Division Series between the Bomba Squad and the Bronx Bombers seems destined for a lot of long balls.
AL Central champion Minnesota set a big league record with 307 home runs and the AL East-winning Yankees were just behind at 306, both blowing by the previous mark of 267 set by New York last year.
The best of five divisional series gets underway in New York Friday night at 6:07. Game two is Saturday afternoon at 4:07. Both games are on 570 WNAX.
Game one matches Twins righthander Jose Berrios against Yankee lefthander James Paxton.
