69-70, +5362
Tampa Bay +265 over YANKEES
Sturtze had a poor outing yesterday but the Tampa pen continued its strong play. Rivera and Stanton worked two of the last three and they got hit both times out so there is a question as to whether they will be effective. Mendoza went very long on Saturday so he may not be available, either. The Rays got 3 off Mussina last time and he followed that up with a poor performance. Now he is jumping a spot in the rotation after consecutive 105+ pitch outings. Lopez has pitched perhaps his two best games of the year his last two starts. His fastball is consistently 95+. Great spot for the D-Rays here.
