The New York Yankees will send Luis Severino to the hill today to try to send this series back to Cleveland for Game 5 of the American League Divisional Series. Severino was not sharp in his last outing but chalk that up to post-season jitters. With that behind him, I see Severino throwing strikes today. He was the ace for the Yankees this year, going 14-6, with an ERA of 3.11, and a 1.06 WHIP. The Bombers are 14-2 in his last 16 starts and 5-0 in his last 5 home starts. Cleveland will counter with Trevor Bauer. Bauer is 18-9, with a 4.03 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and he will be on just 3 days rest which could be an issue. Brian O’Nora will be behind the dish and the Yankees are 5-2 in his last 7 when he is pulling the strings.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
