SU is not into predicting scores for individual games but we have received several requests now to put our reputation on the line for the Wild Card game tonight. As mentioned earlier, SU is not confident for this game. Starting Severino is not ideal given his 2nd half of the season performance and his abbreviated outing last year in this game. Not every pitcher is cut out for the post-season. Some get too amped up or are just too intense. Look at Clayton Kershaw – not nearly as good in October.
I also don’t think the Yankees are good at making the adjustments for the train of relief pitchers that the A’s will throw out there tonight – especially with their all right-handed line up. And players and teams get tight in the post-season – see the Cubs who scored 2 runs in 22 innings and will now be at home for the duration.
So, based on all of this, SU sees the Yankees falling 4-2 in a painful game to watch. Clearly, I hope I am wrong but SU is not paid the big bucks to be a homer. We call it like we see it.
OK, I know many of you like to put your own predictions out there with the hope of gaining international acclaim if you are right. Have at it!

Same score, only reversed. Yanks 4 Oakland 2
BOOOOOOO TO SU !!!!!
TRAITOR, NO GUTS, A MISGUIDED SOUL YOU ARE.
8-6 YANKEES… as the A’s make it close late in the game.
Sanchez, Stanton and Judge all participate in the win. McCutchen is clutch. Only issue is that one of our bullpen dudes gives up a 3 run homer late in the game.
Another excellent, honest post. I think the Yankee bats come alive tonight in front of the home crowd. The team saw plenty of RHP this year (nearly 3:1 PA differential and batted .250 compared to .248 v LHP). Like SU, I am concerned with how the team handles pitcher adjustments, but going with 7-4 Yanks, with 3 of those runs surrendered by Severino. Bullpen gives the Yanks 4 solid innings in relief.
Think A-Rod
Have faith
I agree with you but don’t think the Yankees will score 2 runs
