Tampa Bay at New York

Apparently the oddsmakers figure that Tampa Bay is better than the Yankees on the road behind Shields. That sure hasn't been the case anywhere this season as Shields has been hammered by the powerful Yankees’ lineup. He has made five starts against the Bronx Bombers on the season, working 31 innings while allowing 23 runs. Ivan Nova has been superb when pitching at home as a member of the Yankees, and handled this Rays lineup in his two starts here against them this year, allowing a total of 3 runs over 16 innings. The Yankees are 6-1 in Nova's seven starts against them. The Rays are now 0-6 behind Shields in Yankees Stadium in his last six starts. Play on the Yankees.
