Yankees' left-hander Nestor Cortes Jr. (0-0, 1.95 ERA) has an impressive ERA, but note that it's over only 27 2/3 innings of work and mostly out of the bullpen. In his last two outings, both starts, Cortes Jr. has allowed three runs through 6 2/3 innings. He's unlikely to go deep into the game which will put a lot of pressure on the Yankees' bullpen.

Ray's righty Michael Wacha (2-2, 5.16 ERA) does not have impressive numbers, but note that he is 1-0 with a 4.13 ERA at home. Wacha is backed up by one of the best bullpens in baseball.

Rays are 9-1 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record. Rays are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. Rays are 62-21 in their last 83 games as a home favorite.
