Rays -164 5.5* MLB
Sometimes you have to over pay to get a winning play and at this point in the season the lines are slim picking. The Rays were my POD last night and again tonight. The Rays played a deflated Yankee team tonight and I don't see how they can get back up as they have all been eliminated from post season. This team has to be mentally tired and now they have to face David Price who in 409 AB against the Yankees hitters has posted a .690 OPS which is quite good when you consider the amount of HR the Yankees hit, but the active line up has done significantly less against Price. Price also is only allowing 33% fly balls and 8.8% HR/FB. Which is good compared with Phil Hughes 46.6% and 11.3% HR/FB ratio.

Hughes is a must fade at Yankee Stadium and he has poor numbers vs. the Rays in 161 AB they have a .879 OPS. Hughes has an ERA over 6 at home and post AS break. Joe Girardi who I think is one of the best managers in the majors has worn his bullpen out by going to them too early over the last month. This bullpen is not up to the task to take over for Hughes in the 4th or 5th inning and I don't see Price giving up the runs tonight to the flat Yankees.
