Severino gave up one unearned run on two hits and zero walks while striking out nine in six innings Sunday against the Red Sox. He picked up his 12th win of the season.
EDGE Analysis
The electric righty outpitched Chris Sale in this one, and his ERA now sits at a tidy 3.03 over 169.1 innings. He ranks in the top 10 among qualified big-league starters in ERA, WHIP (1.07), FIP (3.12), K-BB% (22.5 percent) and strikeout rate (29 percent), truly establishing himself as an SP1 in fantasy. Severino threw 151.1 innings in 2016, and he is on pace to approach 190-200 innings this season, so it will be interesting to see if the Yankees tinker with the rotation down the stretch in order to preserve their ace for the postseason.
