The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees will play a day/night double-header today in the Bronx. More often than not teams split double-headers so whoever loses Game 1 should win Game 2.

The Tampa Bay Rays will open a 3-game set tonight when they host the San Diego Padres at Tropicana Field. Shane McClanahan is expected to get the nod for Tampa. He is 9-6 with a 3.10 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. When the southpaw takes the field at the Trop, the Rays win.

The best team in the majors, the Milwaukee Brewers, will open a 3-game set with the New York Mets tonight in Queens.

The smoking hot 73-58 Philadelphia Phillies head west tonight to open a 3-game set with the 62-69 Seattle Mariners.

The Bombers have played well in the Bronx, with a record of 32-28, and have the edge in runs scored, runs allowed, home runs, and team ERA.
