<b>Oakland:</b> Liam Hendriks (0-1 4.13 ERA)<br />
<b>New York:</b> Luis Severino (19-8 3.39 ERA)
</p>

In Hendriks’ last appearance he came out of the bullpen and pitched one scoreless inning giving up one hit in a 5-2 win over the L.A. Angels. Oakland has used him as a bullpen starter eight times this season where he totaled eight 2/3 innings and had an ERA of 2.08. In Hendriks’ last 11 appearances he only lasted past one inning once, but in that span, he did not give up any earned runs. That span started on September 4th facing the Yankees where he pitched one scoreless inning in a 5-1 Oakland loss.
</p>
<p>
In Severino’s last start he gave up two earned runs on four hits in five innings in a 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees have won his last two starts, and in his previous three outings he has only given up four earned runs in 17 2/3 innings. Severino faced Oakland twice this season and had a good first outing in a Yankees win, but in his last start against them on September 5th in Oakland he was tagged for five runs in two 2/3 innings in an 8-2 New York loss.
</p>
<p>
Severino will be making a Wild Card start for the 2nd season in a row. The Yankees have won 22 of Severino’s last 26 home starts, and they are 16-5 in his previous 21 home starts against a team with a winning record.

Oakland at New York AL Wild Card Prediction 10/03/2018
Severino was lit up in his last start facing the A's, and in the start, in last season's Wild Card game he was not sharp despite a Yankees win. This time around and at home he will have a good outing facing the A's. Oakland is carrying 11 pitchers in this game, which will be a bullpen start where they have had success on the season. However, in this game, the bullpen will give up some runs facing a New York lineup that ranks 2nd in the Majors in runs scored. Severino having a good outing and the Yankees’ bats doing some damage equals a Yankees win, as they will advance to the ALDS.
