Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees: Storylines
The Tampa Bay Rays make it to this series after easily getting past the Toronto Blue Jays in two games in the Wild-Card series. Once again, they proved to be a well-coached, pretty balanced team.
Now, they’ll try and defend their AL East crown vs. a team they dominated at will during the regular season. Then again, this will be the first time they’ll actually face the Bronx Bombers at full strength.

The New York Yankees truly lived up to that ‘Bombers’ nickname during their Wild-Card series vs. the Cleveland Indians. Gerrit Cole was at his best during Game 1 and Masahiro Tanaka struggled in Game 2 but their offense fired at all cylinders in both outings.
There is some unfinished business between these two teams and it feels like they’ll be one play away from clearing the benches, so we can definitely expect them to play their hearts out since the very first pitch.
