The American League alignment is officially set. Now, on the last day of the regular season Masahiro Tanaka, will get his tune up appearance as he prepares to go against the Twins in Minnesota for Game Three of the ALDS. Tanaka is coming off a great start versus the Los Angeles Angels, having gone seven innings, allowing just four hits and one run, while striking out six. Much of the attention will be paid towards his split-finger, seeing whether it stays as effective as it did during his last outing.
Since the next game will be on Friday you should expect to see the bullpen elites in this one considering they haven’t pitched during this series at all.
