#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
Play: Tampa Bay Rays
Rating: 5*

The New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez is scheduled to play his final game in pinstripes on Friday, but I think the Tampa Bay Rays will spoil the party in the Bronx.

Chris Archer (6-15, 4.26 ERA) has pitched well lately with a 2.94 ERA through his last five starts. He's held Rodriguez to a pair of hits in 15 at bats and he's 5-3 with a 2.13 ERA in 11 career starts against New York, including a 3-1 with a 2.18 ERA at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees turn to CC Sabathia (6-9, 4.18) who has struggled lately. The veteran left-hander is 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA in his last five starts and he allowed three runs on nine hits and three walks in just 4 2/3 innings at Tampa Bay back in April. Sabathia is just 1-6 with a 4.82 ERA in nine starts home in New York this season.

Evan Longoria (26-for-67, six homers, 14 RBIs) and Logan Forsythe (8-for-18, two homers) are only two of many Rays with good success against Sabathia. The current Tampa Bay team is batting a combined .329 over 161 at bats versus him, and I think they'll give Sabathia plenty to work with tonight.
