The Yankees are on an even hotter streak than their upcoming opponents. They lead the AL East division by over eight games. Some might say Gerrit Cole starting for New York is a hit or miss after giving up seven runs over 2.1 innings in his last appearance against the Twins. Nevertheless, he remains a solid option for the side given his recent numbers. On the other hand, the Rays giving Corey Kluber the start might play in their favor. Kluber hasn’t allowed more than three runs in his last five starts, which makes the clash an interesting one through and through.
