The Twins and Yankees finish their series with Bartolo Colon taking on Luis Severino. Colon owns a 4.80 ERA since joining the Twins, much lower than his 8.14 mark with the Braves. He’s back to walking few batters, but he is allowing home runs at a higher rate. The Yankees changed from Masahiro Tanaka to Severino when it seemed clear they had a chance to bury the Twins. Sererino pitched lights out so far in September with a 1.29 ERA in three starts, allowing one home run and four walks in 21 innings with 26 K. Batters managed just six hits against him.
Alex Wood goes for his 16th win as the Dodgers face the Phillies and Jake Thompson. Wood pitched particularly well on the road this season, 7-1 with a 2.18 ERA. His three-true outcomes are better at home, but he allows fewer hits away. Thompson allowed seven home runs in 36 1/3 innings this year, but so far in September he allowed just one in 16 1/3 innings, helping him to a 3.31 ERA in three starts in the month.
Finally, Chris Sale goes for his 17th win as the Red Sox and Baltimore continue their close-fought series. Wade Miley takes the hill for the Orioles. Sale needs 13 strikeouts for 300. Since Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling reached that level in 2002, only Clayton Kershaw made it to 300 with 301 in 2015. Sale struck out at least 13 batters three times this season, tied with Corey Kluber for the MLB lead. Miley owns a 9.00 ERA in 12 innings this September, allowing a .500/.478/.864 slash line with men on base.
