Vote: Are you picking the Twins or Athletics?


The Minnesota Twins led the AL Central on the only day that mattered, and so despite the apparent wishes of their owner, they'll square off against the Oakland Athletics in the first round of the playoffs.

How does this series shape up, SportsNation? The Twins won't have Francisco Liriano for the postseason, but does Johan Santana give the Twins the edge in starting rotations? Does Oakland's patience give its batting order the edge over Minnesota, or do you think Ron Gardenhire's club is better at creating runs?

The Twins and Athletics get things started on Tuesday, and we want to know how you see it playing out.
