Let&#8217;s dive into each starter&#8217;s splits and stats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rays will send Taj Bradley in the bump. He is not the same pitcher when starting on the road with a <strong>6.20 ERA and a .309 OBA <\/strong>compared to 1.50 ERA and a .160 OBA at home. Bradley is <strong>0-6 SU F5 <\/strong>as an underdog in his short career and <strong>0-4 SU F5<\/strong> as an away dog this season. He is also due for negative regression suggested by his 3.88 xERA compared to a 2.90 ERA.  Also, the fact that he&#8217;ll face a good lineup in a home run-friendly park, where his 2.7 HR\/9 and 42.4% fly ball rate on the road should play against him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side, Nestor Cortes will start for the Yankees, and he&#8217;s been excellent at home with a <strong>1.81 ERA, a .190 OBA and a 0.8 HR\/9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yankees are ranked <strong>3rd with 3.13 F5 runs scored at home<\/strong> and 3rd in F5 runs allowed this season. In comparison, the Rays are <strong>24th with 2.09 F5 runs scored on the road<\/strong>. The Rays are struggling with RISP lately as they are dead last in MLB, batting just .103 in this situation over the last 2 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s Note: I am happy to introduce a talented contributor to our team: Dominic Tremblay.
