Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Tampa Bay Rays 9/16

The New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays are set to finish off their three game set this weekend between the two clubs inside Tropicana Field. The pitching has been great for both clubs, the hits have been timely and the games have been hella-entertaining. What more could you ask for? Well if you asked for a game that pitted two team’s aces against each other you got it as the Yankees send Luis Severino to the mound to face off against the Rays starter and ace Chris Archer. The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11 and MLB TV.

The Yankees are off tomorrow before heading to Queens to take on the first place New York Mets inside CitiField. The Mets mathematically have a shot at clinching the National League East Division title with a strong showing against the Yankees so the Bronx Bombers will look to play spoilers while improving their own potential playoff scenarios. To see this go down live click the Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog and grab a pair of seats for the series. If you can’t make it live simply jump on Twitter and give @GreedyStripes a follow and we’ll root like hell from afar as the team does it.

Severino is ready and the offense better be ready because against the Yankees you know Archer is ready. Let’s make it two in a row, Go Yankees!
