The New Yor Yankees forced a win-or-go-home Game 5 with a 5-1 victory on Thursday. Tonight they hand the ball to their ace Gerrit Cole (7-3, 2.84 ERA) who beat the Rays in Game 1 of this ALDS while the Tampa Bay Rays will open with Tyler Glasnow (5-1, 4.08 ERA), most likely to be followed by Blake Snell.

Neither pitcher impressed in their previous starts of this series, but the Bronx Bombers have won each of Cole's last five starts and I don't think they'll disappoint in this one.

8* play on NY Yankees.
