New York at Tampa Bay

The Yankees have finally clinched the wildcard, and manager Joe Torre will undoubtedly be resting a lot of regulars in this one. The Yankees are the worst team in baseball on the road against LHP, as they stand at a woeful 3-14. Jorge Posada will most certainly be given the night off, and the rest of the Yankees own a .195 avg. against Kazmir. Kazmir has been on lately as he has a 1.00 ERA over his last three starts, and has allowed just 12 hits in 18 innings while striking out 30. The Yankees counter with Phil Hughes, who has yet to live up to the billing as the top pitching prospect, which now may belong to Joba Chamberlain. Hughes was roughed up for four runs in four innings in his only outing against TB this season. We like the D-Rays with their ace, who has a 2.38 ERA since the break, to topple the post-celebration Yankees.
