Yankees vs Rays @ 1:05pm EST

Will be on the Under 8.5 (-120)...analysis to follow, just getting the pick out there!

GL to all!  

CC vs. Schultz.  

CC's September numbers look gross, no doubt.  But this man is a vet and knows that a win here, all but solidifies home field advantage in the WC game vs. Oakland.  Vs. LH hitters, he's given up a .183 average, 4 LH hitters in the TB lineup today.  Carlos Gomez is the only one with decent stats against CC, going 9/21, but in Sept he's 2/23 so i'm throwing that out the window.

Schultz has been great in relief, we can hope he goes 2IP before being removed.  His WHIP is nice and low, BAA is low.  Stanton, Judge, Andujar...all great names but haven't been anything special recently.  The L7 - Andjuar - .240, Stanton .217, Judge .250, Torres .167...and while I know NYY is a hitters ballpark and they can ding a few out at any moment, TB is in the middle of the pack as far as giving up HR this September and their bullpen is a top 10 one throughout the season.  Oddly enough, Voit may be the most feared batter on the Yanks right now.  Not many would've said that this late in the season but it's the truth.

Yanks will be without Cutch and Sanchez, so some better offensive bats will be missing.  No Duffy, Kiermaier for TB, replaced with Lowe and Gomez.  Don't think anything special here.

Quick turnaround from last night's game, maybe we see some sluggish bats as well.  Yanks have Betances and Britton on 2 days rest so they should be available to help out the end of the Yanks pitching today.

L7 Days, Tampa is batting .232, Yanks are .234.  Game in a dome so no wind/weather restrictions.

I think that's about all on this!

GOOD LUCK once again.
