I'm playing on TAMPA. Many are reluctant to play against the Yankees, when they're off a loss. However, the Rays will have the advantage in this one and could easily be a larger favorite. While the Yankees are off a hard-fought loss, followed by travel, the Rays had yesterday off. In fact, these teams were originally supposed to play each other Thursday but the Yankees schedule got thrown off and they were forced to stay in Philadelphia and play the Phillies Thursday instead. That should work in the Rays' favor. Of course, the venue also favors the Rays, as they've been much stronger here at home. Indeed, they're 5-2 at home but 0-5 on the road. While Snell is likely to only go four or five innings, I expect him to be sharp when he's in there. Tampa has won four of its last six against NY, including each of the past two, when Snell was on the mound. The rested Rays' relievers have a combined 2.12 ERA (1.000 WHIP) here at home. The Rays, who were blanked by Boston on Wednesday, are 10-5 the past couple of seasons, when off a shutout loss. Expect them to be the team which bounces back with an important victory.
