New York Gothams, got to love that team name.

The Yankees need one win to reach 10,000 regular season wins in franchise history, which dates to 1903.  are the winningest AL team  all time with a 9,999-7,565 (.569 win %) record.  according to Elias, the Yankees will have the highest win. pct. for any franchise at the time of their 10,000th win (the Giants had a .540 win % when they won their 10,000th game)

The Yankees need all 3 of the following to clinch a post season berth tonight:
1. A Yankee win,
2.A Minnesota loss,
3. Either a Texas loss or LA AL loss
Regardless, If the Yankees win 2 more games, they are guaranteed at least Wild Card spot.

Akex Rodriguez needs one RBI to tie Jorge Posada (1,065) for 11th place on franchise's all-time list.

Pineda has won consecutive starts for the first time since 5/27 & 6/1, going 2-0 with a 0.79 ERA (11.1IP, 1ER).  Leads AL with 7.00 K/BB ratio.  In 20 starts at Yankee Stadium since joining Yankees in 2014, is 8-5 with a 3.28 era.. Marks the fifth-lowest ERA at the current Yankee Stadium (min. 15 starts).. opponents are batting .240 against him here.  Has held opponents to 2R or fewer in 13 of his 20 starts at Yankee Stadium.  Is 4-2 with a 3.77 ERA in 6 career starts vs. Boston..  Is 2-0 with a 1.42 era (12.2IP, 2ER) in 2 starts this season.  In 5 starts with the Yankees vs Boston, is 4-1 with a 2.02 ERA (26.2IP, 6ER), 30K, 2BB, and has yielded 2R or fewer in all 5 starts.  Is 6-1 with a 3.41 ERA in 12 starts vs AL East this season.

108-87-2  +19.67

Diamondback (Corbin) +120
Royals (Young) -109
Rays (Odorizzi) -106
Red Sox (Team Total over 4.5) -120

Game Notes:
Thinking Corbin can keep Mets bats in check, Corbin's a stud and Mets really struggle hitting lefties (and righties).

Royals are rollin, rollin with.  Royals are 14th in wrc+ vs lefties, Royals should hit Buehrle.

Rays going for team record 11th win in a row vs lefties.  Rays 15-8 vs lefties this season.  A few Rays seem to hit Keuchel in his career.  I like Odorrizzi.

Red Sox should hit Nova.

Bol everyone!

BOL Tin!
