One way or the other, this ALDS will see a massive shift in momentum and odds after tonight, with one team guaranteed to be one win away from advancing. After yesterday’s sleepy 4-2 loss to the Guardians, the onus will be on the Yankee offense to secure the second win of the series, even if Luis Severino will command most of the attention.
Sevy’s made three starts since returning from a lat issue, and has been absolute dynamite in those outings. A 1.69 ERA and 1.93 FIP will play in any rotation, especially when backed up by a strikeout rate over 30 percent.
