Tampa Bay Rays
Drew Rasmussen has won three in a row and hasn’t given up any more than two earned runs in eight consecutive starts.
That’s what the Yankees will have to contend with when a red-hot Tampa Bay team comes into the Bronx looking to cut into New York’s five-game lead in the division.
The Rays have won 19 of their last 24 games after sweeping Boston.
Thursday was a day off to account for the travel and now the final three games against New York before the playoffs.
The Yankees are the only divisional opponent the Rays do not have a winning record against this season but a sweep will give them the season series.
Jeffrey Springs only gave Tampa three innings in its 1–0 win over Boston on Wednesday but the bullpen made equally quick work of the Red Sox.
Pete Fairbanks got the save in that win, his sixth of the season. He gave up a run in each of his first two appearances of the season after an injury delayed the start of his season.
He has not given up a run since in 17 appearances, a streak that began in mid-July.
New York Yankees
Nothing like the Twins to get the Yankees back on track. They won the first three at Yankee Stadium to up their winning streak to four with one more to go before this weekend’s series begins against Tampa Bay.
Nestor Cortes starts the final game against the Twins on Thursday after a stint on the IL.
The rotation is undergoing an adjustment as a result but Frankie Montas could be the one to start this game.
He pitched against the Twins last weekend and won a 2–1 game in his best start as a Yankee.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction:
Rasmussen is going to dominate this game and the Rays bullpen will put a stamp on it.
Look at the Yankees’ lineup for Thursday’s game against the Twins. Without Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton, among others, it’s thin.
Aaron Judge doesn’t have the protection he needs and there will be quick innings throughout.
Tampa wins a low-scoring game.
