The New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays will continue their
three-game set tonight in the Bronx with the middle game of the series. The
Yankees tipped their hand a bit with the pitching matchups tonight and in this
series as far as the playoffs go, more on that later, allowing Jordan
Montgomery to make the start last night saving Luis Severino tonight for the
Rays and Matt Andriese. The Yankees have very little to play for here as the AL
East Division crown seems out of reach, although I won’t stop believing until
someone a lot better at math than I am tells me that I need to, but that does
not mean it’s time to take your foot off the gas.
Severino has been just what the doctor has ordered for the
Yankees this season and the right-hander has come through time-and-time again
as New York’s go-to pitcher. The Yankees even adjusted their starting rotation
last time through to get Severino an extra start as the team attempts to chase
down the Boston Red Sox in the AL East division, one of those extra starts
comes tonight in the Bronx.
Andriese has three losses in his last four starts and will
look to avoid a fourth loss tonight in the Bronx against the Yankees. In those
four starts Andriese has posted a 8.47 ERA which has helped the Rays fall out
of the AL Wild Card race after being in the thick of the race for much of the
2017 campaign.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11, Fox Sun Sports and MLB TV. You can also
follow along in your cars and on the radio by tuning into the WFAN broadcast
with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. Until Game 162 the Yankees will need a
win, so get a win so we can start the “need a win, get a win” campaign over
again in the postseason. Until then, Go Yankees!!!
