Yankees vs. Twins: ALDS Game 3 MLB Picks and Predictions
This is among those four Divisional Series games that may finish. This marks the sixth time which all four series leaders could finish their series. Only once, however, has it happened. Are the Twins of expanding the series?
Two right-handed starters will be on the mountain in tonights Game 3 matchup. Facing elimination, the Twins will provide the ball to Jake Odorizzi (15-7, 3.51) whereas the Yankees will counter with Luis Severino (1-1, 1.50).

And in his last start, he also won 95.5 MPH with just 3.8 inches of arm-side tailing activity and 9 inches of vertical spout.
