The Tampa Bay Rays trail the AL East leading Boston Red Sox by six games and no cause for concern as it isn't even All-Star Break. The Yankees come in trailing the Bo Sox 3 1/2 games and the 2nd place O's by two games. The four game set could keep you in the race or set you back into a real nice hole heading into the month of July.

The Yankees are throwing RHP David Phelps who has a 4.08 ERA sandwiched in between "Big Game" Andy Pettitte and C.C. with the fourth game of the series to be determined. The Rays will go with 8-game winner LHP Matt Moore will face Pettitte in game one with a 4.12 ERA. He will be followed by Hernandez and games three and four are not yet assigned for the Rays.

Both teams know what's at stake as we get closer in closer to September Baseball and the Carmines and O's have been more consistent than both the Rays and Yankees. Evan Longoria (.304 14 HR 43 RBI 48 Runs) leads the Rays at the dish. The Yanks are led by 2B Robbie Cano hitting .278 with 16 HR while knocking in 42 runs and scoring 37 runs.
