Tampa Bay Rays
Tampa Bay finished off a win on Wednesday in Atlanta to salvage a split against the first place Braves. Willy Adams got two hits from the top of the lineup and CJ Cron slugged a homer as a part of his four-hit night.

Joey “Mendle” Wendle continued to hit, too, this time in the middle of the lineup. Tampa Bay’s lineup doesn’t have that one guy in the middle. (Tommy Pham is not the answer). Jake Bauers could become that guy next season but he isn’t there yet.
But it’s still loaded with plus bats, whether they be on-base guys or extra-base producers.
The pitching staff went Diego Castillo and Jalen Beeks for the majority of the game on Wednesday. A day off Thursday resets things and Tyler Glasnow will open up on Friday.
Cleveland Indians
The long slog that has been Cleveland’s regular season is finally coming to the final month. The Indians have long known they will be the AL Central champions. Now, tune up for the playoffs can begin.
The Indians are looking like they will beat the Twins on Thursday afternoon and win the series by a score of two games to one.

Then they get a day off and welcome in the Rays for three. This will be one of the best series of the weekend, around the league. The Tribe’s lineup is looking healthy and deep with Michael Brantley hitting between Lindor and Ramirez at the top. If he stays there, Cleveland has a shot.

I don’t know where I’d go for this one. I do think it’s close so perhaps a runline play is in order but I’d rather just enjoy this one for the good baseball that will be played.
