Stephen Nover's Playoff Run Line Top Ticket
(MLB) Minnesota vs. NY Yankees,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -105.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Loss
The Yankees have loads of young talent. But that young talent is now on the playoff stage for the first time with all the pressure on them.

The Twins aren't flashy. They don't have the power, or rising superstarts, the Yankees do. But they don't beat themselves and are tough on the road going 44-37.

The pitching matchup is 23-year-old Luis Severino, making his first playoff start, against veteran Ervin Santana.

This isn't a fade on Severino, who had his breakout season. But more a value play to get 1 1/2 runs with the Twins figuring Santana will keep them in the game.

Santana went 10-3 on the road with a 2.71 ERA in 17 away outings. He's been solid versus the Yankees the past three seasons posting a 3.16 ERA in 25 2/3 innings.
