The first two games of the series have been decided by a single run, as the teams are separated by two games in the AL East pennant race.
New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Rays
New York pushed its divisional lead to two games with Saturday’s 5-4 road victory over the Rays at Tropicana Field. Both games in the series have been decided by a single run, with Tampa winning 3-2 on Friday night. “It feels like a playoff,” said second baseman Robinson Cano. “The fans get excited when they get an out and they’re in every pitch.” Newly acquired Lance Berkman went 0-for-4 in his debut with the Bronx Bombers, as he got his first taste of a pennant race this year. “It was definitely sore of a playoff-type atmosphere,” said Berkman. The Yankees own the best record in baseball at 66-37 (+760) and the total is 52-47 O/U in all games. The lines maker has placed them as a road favorite of -125 to -150 this afternoon, with the team tallying a 10-6 record in that situation in 2010 (+210) and compiling a 31-28 mark the last three years (-720).
The Red Sox picked up tonight’s starter in the offseason for big games like this in the American League East division.
Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox
Tampa Bay is floundering after starting the season with a fantastic 32-12 mark, going 12-19 over its last 31 games. “We’ve had a rough patch…as bad as we’ve been playing and we’re only three games back, that’s got to say a lot about where we were,” pitcher Matt Garza said. The Rays offense must get back on track, hitting .170 over their recent six-game homestand, including just .063 (7-for-50) with runners in scoring position. Being away from Tropicana Field has been a winning combination for the young squad, posting an impressive 24-12 mark (+990) and averaging 5.6 runs. This fits well with the road team winning all seven games between these clubs in 2010. The Rays are surprisingly just 3-4 as a road underdog of +100 to +125 this season (-50).

Tampa Bay Rays at Atlanta Braves
Tampa Bay had spent 52 consecutive days in first place in the AL East, but the Rays have shared the top spot with the Yankees the past three days. The team has held the majors best record for a total of 59 games this season, 19 more than their first 12 years combined. The offense has been scuffling since May 21, scoring two runs or fewer in a game nine times. Manager Joe Maddon summed it up after his club dropped Game Two of the series, “The good thing is we won on Tuesday night and lost today, let’s try and win the series on Thursday.” Tampa is still a dominating 23-9 on the road this season and has outscored opponents 188-110 away from Tropicana Field.
