After getting hammered by the Minnesota Twins in the first inning of the AL wild-card game, Luis Severino will get a chance for redemption when his New York Yankees try to stay alive in their American League Division Series with the Cleveland Indians.
Sportsbook opened the Yanks as -161 home favorites with a total of 7.5.
- The Yankees are 2-7 SU in their last nine games in the playoffs.
- The Indians are 21-4 SU in their last 25 games against right-handed starting pitchers.
- The Indians are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games with Trevor Bauer as the starting pitcher.
Trevor Bauer (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will counter on the bump for the Indians. Bauer has allowed two runs and 11 hits over his last 19.2 innings of work in a three-start span to end the regular season. The hurler posted a 4.54 ERA on the road in 2017 but owns a 2.87 career ERA in three starts at Yankee Stadium.
Severino (0-0, 81.00) made a pair of starts against Cleveland in August and allowed four earned runs and six hits in 13.1 innings, recording 18 strikeouts in that stretch. The 23-year-old, who didn’t make it out of the first inning against the Twins, gave up 15 of his 21 home runs at home this season.
After the UNDER cashed in Game 3, betting on low-scoring games continues to be profitable in Indians contests when they play away from home. In Cleveland’s last eight playoff road tilts, the UNDER is 7-1.
