For the second year in a row, it seems injuries will play a big part in the outcome of this series, with the Twins missing their gun DP combination of Cesar Tovar (ab tear) and Luis Aparicio (broken leg ), while the Dodgers are pretty much at full strength. A real shame, too, because this loomed as a fascinating matchup pitting the Twins big bats led by “Killer” Killebrew against Sandy K and the best staff in all of baseball.
I’d still have tipped LA without the injuries, but now I feel they’ll do it a fair bit easier and win this in five. The two combatants each ether this contest with 3 Championships and 7 Pennants to their name.
