New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays are set for an exciting rubber match on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. After winning the series opener vs. the Rays 6-1, New York came crashing again the next day after losing to the Rays 9-1. With all the firepower they have at their disposal, New York’s offense has been mediocre recently, batting .231 with 4.6 runs per game over their last 10 games. When it comes to their pitching numbers though, the Yankees aren’t that bad as they sport a respectable 3.39 ERA during that stretch. Meanwhile, the Rays look to build some consistency following their impressive victory over the Yankees. Tampa Bay has batted .239 with 3.3 runs per game over their last 10 assignments while throwing a solid 3.41 ERA. 49-49 Rays are trying to go above .500 and keep themselves in the hunt for at least a wildcard spot in the postseason.

Pitchers Matchup: Rays RHP Shane Baz (0-1, 5.32 ERA with 11 strikeouts) vs. Yankees RHP Marcus Strowman (7-4, 3.51 ERA with 78 strikeouts).
