Today’s matchup is between the Tampa Bay Rays (42-21) and the New York Yankees (36-27).
The Rays are starting Charlie Morton (RHP), who is 2-2 on the season pitching a 4.74 ERA, 3.45 FIP, .325 wOBA, K% of 24.7%, BB% of 5.9%, 89.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.39 WHIP in 38.0 innings pitched.
The Yankees are starting Masahiro Tankana (RHP), who is 3-3 on the season with a 3.56 ERA, 4.42 FIP, .314 wOBA, K% of 22.3%, BB% of 4.1%, 88.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.17 WHIP in 48.0 innings pitched.
The Rays are the 4th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching, while the Yankees are 20th.
On the hitting side, the Rays have a .320 wOBA and a .325 OBP. The Yankees have a .335 wOBA and a .340 OBP. The Rays have 80 HRs this season while the Yankees have 94 HRs.
I like the Yankees to win this one. Tankana is the clear cut better starter and the Yankees batting has been on fire recently.
