Ball In Play
Aaron has a long and thorough preview of the Twns-Yankees series, and makes a point I was going to hit upon as well. He starts out talking about last year's Angels beating the Yankees by putting the ball in play. He points out that while the Twins have very similar stats to last year's Angels, they strikeout a lot more. That plays into the strength of the Yankees pitchers.
My advice to the Twins is to try to become the Angels. Shorten your swings and put the ball in play up the middle. That's where the Yankees are weakest.
