Let's give credit where credit is due.
The Minnesota Twins are the story of the American League this year. Starting the month of September 6 or 7 games back of Detroit they caught the Tigers on the 2nd to last day of the season. Both Minnesota & Detroit won on the last day, forcing today's playoff game. (I won't mention Bucky Bleepin' Dent!)
Minnesota has a few key players -- Nathan, Mauer, Cuddyer. But this small payroll team turns into a playoff contender on a regular basis. You have to be rooting for the Twins today as the underdog.
The beneficiary of today is the Yankees, of course, who have their rotation ready to go against either team. They may just have their hands full with either, though.
Good luck, Twins!
