The Tampa Bay Rays were once a handful of games in 1st place for the early AL East race, but they have allowed the Yankees to rally back which has dropped them 8.5 games out. The Tampa Bay Rays need to get back on track in this game, and they have the right pitcher on the mound to do so as Charlie Morton is having a spectacular season with a 9-2 record and a 2.36 ERA. The Yankees have played well when James Paxton is on the mound, but the cause for concern is his 4.09 ERA in a ballpark like Tropicana Field. The Tampa Bay Rays have enough talent on their roster to make a push back towards 1st place in the AL East, and it will start with this game. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Rays win 4-2.
