Minnesota Twins vs. Oakland A’s

Joe Mauer and the Twins will face Barry Zito and the Oakland A’s in the first playoff game of the 2006 season. It is a best of 5 series, so the first team to win 3 games advances to the American League Championship Series.

You have to like the Twins chance to win this series because of the home field advantage. I like the Twins to win the series 3 games to 1. Twins will win the first two, the Oakland wins game 3, and ultimately the Twins will win game 4 to advance.

I am also predicting Joe Mauer to hit .500 in the series with 3 doubles.
