The Twins and Astros will play Game 1 of the AL Division Series today in Houston, with and as the starting pitchers. Both teams revealed their full 26-man rosters for the series this afternoon. Ober is the only new addition to the roster, as Minnesota is going with 25 of the Brennan Bernardino Jersey 26 players who defeated the Blue Jays in the Wild Card Series. had been slated to start Game 3 of the WCS if nece sary, but hell now probably be held off (barring an emergency) until Game 4 of the ALDS, as and are set for Games 2 and 3. Left-hander was dropped from the roster to make room for Ober, and is the only southpaw Minnesota is bringing into the series. Houstons lineup is mostly full of right-handed hitters, but Thielbar might be tasked with the tall order of handling , , and for some key at-bats.
