Rays are likely to get into bullpen early and play matchups against Yankees
Erasmo Ramirez has done a fine job (15.6 K-BB%) mostly out of the pen this year. He’s started just one game, almost exactly a month ago, in which he threw 66 pitches. Expect no more than five innings, at best, tonight. This means the Yankees are likely to face a lot of the Tampa Bay bullpen. This is not necessarily a bad thing as the Rays' relievers are middle of the road (4.02 ERA, 3.84 FIP). Former Yankee Chase Whitley (16.9 K%) appears to be the longer outing guy and has held LHBs to a .182 wOBA. The key point is that the Rays will likely be playing for advantageous matchups early in this game. Aaron Judge (178 wRC+, .315 ISO vs RHP) is still a high upside bat, regardless.
