The New York Yankees are starting to pull away in the AL East, winning 8 out of their last 10 games and notching 78 runs during that span. Today they will go for 3 straight against the Tampa Bay Rays and a series win when they play the third game of a 4-game set at Tropicana Field. C.C. Sabathia will get the nod for the Yanks. Over his last 3 turns, he is 2-1, with a 4.32 ERA, a 1.62 WHIP, and New York is 12-3 in Sabathia’s last 15 starts against Tampa. Blake Snell will be tapping the rubber for the Rays and he has been getting lit up, going 1-2 in his last 3 turns with a soaring ERA of 13.97, a 2.17 WHIP, and with the way the Yankees have been crushing the ball, that doesn’t bode well for Tampa. Consider the Bombers.
