The Yankees are rolling again. They've won their last three and eight of eleven, putting up 8+ runs six times during that span including back-to-back 9 run performances against Baltimore the past two nights. With that kind of offense, and Mike Mussina on the mound, they are a heavy favorite here. But for very good reason. Tampa Bay is the league's absolute worst road team right now at 19-50. They start Tim Corcoran who gave up 5 runs in 3.3 innings to the Yankees back in July. Musina is 15-5 with a 3.36 ERA vs. Tampa Bay. He's 7-2 with a 3.58 ERA at home this season. He's off a loss to lowly Kansas City and you know he won't have another poor performance against a league doormat here - not at home. The Yankees are 22-5 after a high scoring game (15+ runs) this season. Back to Tampa's road record: It's 2-22 in the second half of the season. Yankees here.
