The Tampa Bay Rays have to be asking what they did wrong in the last game. The Rays allowed the Yankees to pull the series even and force a decisive game 5. The good news is the Tampa Bay club should be able to come into the game here with a decent pitching rotation set and that could definitely help the Rays in getting the win in the game.

This year the Rays were able to hit at a clip of only .238 with 470 hits. The Rays were able to bring home 289 runs with 80 homers. Pitching for Tampa was at a team ERA of 3.56 with the batting average of .238.

New York is coming to the game here with a good chance of eliminating the Rays. The Yankees last offensive showing managed to put in quite a few runs in the last game against the Rays. However, it was what many would consider to be a bullpen type of day for the Rays who were pitching in the game.

When it comes to hitting the Yankees were able to hit at a clip of .247 with 473 hits. The runs have come to the tune of 315 on the year with 94 homers. The New York Yankees pitching staff had a team ERA of 4.35 and the opponent was able to hit at a clip of .236.

Coming to this game here it will be a challenge for the Rays. However, one thing that Tampa Bay has to do is contain the hitting for the Yankees. With this game the Rays pitching should have the right pitchers on the mound and if history holds true the Rays pitching staff should be able to bounce back nicely and keep New York from doing much offensively. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Rays win 7-3.
