T.M. Selection: Yankees (10* TRADE-MARK).

The Yankees will have no mercy on Tampa. New York has been stifled by the Rays over the last couple of years, so it will always look to kick Tampa when it's down moving forward. After a very slow start as well, New York is finaly starting to hit its stride, as it enters having won four in a row and eight of its last ten. Tampa is trending the other way now, loser of four of its last five. Jameson Taillon (1-2, 5.02 ERA) and Rich Hill (1-1, 5.17) are a "wash" as far as the starters are concerned, but look for New York to improve upon its 7-2 record in its last nine after three or more straight vicotries in a row; great price on the red hot Yankees!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yanks.
