Yankees take stranglehold of ALDS; history with Jake Odorizzi is ominous

On Saturday, the Yankees exploded for a seven-run third inning en route to an 8-2 victory. In the first two games of the ALDS, the Yankees have won comfortably, dominating the Twins through superior starting pitching, a much better ‘pen, and a lineup that’s firing on all cylinders.

Game 3 on Monday night in Minnesota will feature a compelling pitching matchup. The Yanks will give the ball to Luis Severino in the hopes that the young ace can send them to the ALCS. The Twins will task their All-Star veteran, Jake Odorizzi, with keeping their season alive.
