Yankees close the series tonight with Severino on the mound. With the Astros losing today, the Yanks can close this out and get the extra day or more of rest.
The Yankee lineup is almost unfair to begin with, but they’ve also worked a walk per inning this series. Having HR power and patience like that is almost cheating. They get Odorizzi’s pitch count up early, get back into that struggling bullpen and win by 2+.
Severino has pitched only 12 innings this year, but they’ve looked pretty damn good. He feels good. I think he gives them 5 innings and the Bullpen takes over.
