Unfortunately, our offense has not been up to par. An average offense with our pitching will not work for the season. Wangs needs to have the solid outing against the Rays lineup, to get out of this skid. </p> <p class="style14">The Yankee lineup has been anemic since the start of the season, and Shields is not the type of pitcher they need to see. Shields is a fantastic piture, the perfect #2 starter. However, he has a 8.58 lifetime ERA against the Yankees, and a 1.69 WHIP. Both pitchers will do well, but the Jays lineup will make things happen. </p> <p align="center" class="style14 style16">Prediction</p> <p align="center" class="style14 style17">3-2 Rays </p> </body> </html>
Great defensive plays for the Rays in the first. Carlos Pena come up with a hard ground ball, and Upton made a great catch against his Idol Jeter by laying out.
Wow that was close. Bases loaded 2 outs with Matusi on, who has had a good series. Now the Rays offense just has to start up.
