Tonight in Game 5 of the ALCS the Tampa Bay Rays will have Drew Rasmussen on the hill and he delivers. He took care of business in Game 1 against Cleveland and will do the same again tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS

Refer to yesterday’s blog for tonight’s pick of Game 4 of the ALCS because nothing has changed.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS

The Tampa Bay Rays find themselves down 1-2 in the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians and tonight is a must win for them. If the Rays go down 1-3, they have major issues. Tonight they are expected to have Nick Martinez on the hill. In the regular season he had excellent numbers with a record of 15-6, a 3.1 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. Tampa evens the series up tonight and brings it back to the Burg.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS

The Tampa Bay Rays came up short yesterday in Game 1 of the AL pennant race but they even it up tonight in the Burg.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS

The Tampa Bay Rays’ chase for the pennant starts tonight when they host the Cleveland Guardians. The Rays have the best home record in the American League and will have their ace on the hill, Drew Rasmussen. Enough said. Tampa takes Game 1.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS

The New York Yankees are on the verge of being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, down 0-2 in the Best of 5, but the series now heads to the Bronx for the next two if necessary. The Yankees committed 4 errors in Monday’s 5-2 loss and that is unacceptable. Aaron Boone needs to start being a manager and hold these guys accountable instead of always trying to be their buddy and defending their blunders. Tonight southpaw Max Fried will get the nod for New York. Fried delivered in Game 2 of the ALWC series against the Chicago Cubs, allowing only 3 hits and 1 run over 6 frames, and the Yankees closed out the series with a 9-2 victory. Nick Martinez will be called upon to throw strikes for Tampa. Martinez had excellent numbers in the regular season at 15-5 with a 2.94 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP but was on the losing end when he last faced New York on September 22nd. The Yankees need to take a lesson from the Rays.: play fundamental baseball, don’t always swing for the fences, and they might win this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The San Diego Padres could easily be up 2-0 in the NLDS Best of 5 against the Milwaukee Brewers but find themselves on the brink of elimination. Tonight however the series heads to San Diego for Game 3 (and Game 4 if necessary) and the Padres are not dead in the water just yet. They were dominant in the regular season at Petco Park with a record of 51-30 and the last time they faced the Brewers in San Diego the Padres swept them in a 3-game set. The Padres live to see another day.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN DIEGO PADRES
