Luis Severino made his bid on Tuesday night to be on the mound in the New York Yankees’ playoff opener.

Severino, who won his 19th game of the season, is competing with Masahiro Tanaka and J.A. Happ to start in the Oct. 3 winner-take-all game against Oakland. 

Severino was 14-2 at the All-Star break but lost six of his next nine decisions before beating Boston and Tampa Bay in his last two outings. He gave up two runs and four hits in five-plus innings, and is third in the major leagues in wins behind Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell (21) and Cleveland’s Corey Kluber (20).

New York sprinted to a 54-27 record at this season’s halfway point and was ahead of Boston by percentage points in the quest for its first AL East title since 2012, but the Yankees slowed in the second half as Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Gregorius and Aroldis Chapman got hurt.

However, the Yankees will make their 54th postseason appearance — 21 more than any other team — and their 20th in 24 seasons.
