The Bucs are going to get rolled tonight. We have a rookie back there, and he hasn't shown much. The only thing he has shown is that he can take a hit.

These are the games that go to the Cowboys' heads. They win one like this and think they're America's Team again. America's Team? Like Eddie Murphy said: what have you done for me lately?

I loathe the Cowboys. But I've got them by two possessions.

RaysMissed

No sweep. Yankees win tonight.

I'm calling it. The Yankees pull one off tonight.

Max Fried has a good record against the Rays. He's 5-1 with a 1.81 ERA in seven career starts against them.

The Rays were fortunate in Game 2. The Yankees made four errors, and three of Tampa Bay's five runs were unearned. I doubt that happens two games in a row.

Judge being out factors in. That's one big threat the Rays don't have to deal with. But the Yankees are facing elimination at home, and I just don't see them losing tonight.
