Today’s matchup is between the New York Yankees (35-27) and the Tampa Bay Rays (42-20). (Game 1 has not finished yet)

The Yankees are starting Deivi Garcia (RHP), who is 7-3 on the season pitching a 4.98 ERA, 4.15 FIP, .300 wOBA, K% of 22.6%, BB% of 4.1%, 89.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.19 WHIP in 73.0 innings pitched.

The Rays are starting Tyler Glasnow (RHP), who is 5-1 on the season with a 4.08 ERA, 3.66 FIP, .263 wOBA, K% of 38.2%, BB% of 9.2%, 90.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.13 WHIP in 57.1 innings pitched.

The Yankees are the 21st best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching, while the Rays are 1st.

On the hitting side, the Yankees have a .335 wOBA and a .340 OBP. The Rays have a .320 wOBA and a .325 OBP. The Yankees have 94 HRs this season while the Rays have 80 HRs.

I like the Rays here, without Gerrit Cole on the mound the Yankees have to rely on their hitters to win, and when its time to close the game out the Rays should take this one.
