Although the Yankees were favored by most in the ALDS against the Twins, few expected them to win the first two games so easily. Up 2-0 in the series after a pair of dominant victories, the Yankees will turn to their ace, Luis Severino, with the chance to sweep the Twins at their own stadium on Monday. Things really couldn’t look much better for the Yankees right now.
Still, Severino has a big test on his hands. He’s only pitched three games this year, for a grand total of 12 innings. He also has been up-and-down during his short postseason career, so Severino has plenty to prove with this start.
