The Rays meet the Yankees to start the series. The Rays are just 2 games behind the Yankees have played great baseball winning 9 of the last 11 games. Blake Snell takes the mound for the Rays and has played excellent thus far with a 2.08 era, 20 strike outs, 11 hits, and 4 walks. Snell's whip sits at an impressive 1.154. For the Yankees Masahiro Tanaka takes the mound, also with an impressive 2.31 era, 11 strike outs, 10 hits, and 3 walks. Tanaka's whip is currently sitting at 1.114. This is shaping up to be a great matchup between two of the best teams in the league, but I'm going with the Rays. They've been red hot and I expect that momentum to carry into this game.
