Luis Severino looks lost on the mound. After appearing to be the Cy Young favorite, the right-hander has had a nightmare six weeks, being smacked around by teams like the White Sox, Mets and Royals. There are lots of possible explanations for his struggle, but by all accounts there’s no structural damage to his arm or anything like that. That, to me, signals that in the long run, Sevy will probably be okay. The trouble is, what happens in the immediate future?
Severino’s struggles have thrown the Wild Card Game into disarray.
