New York Yankees (10-7) vs Tampa Rays (8-10)
I am not really sure how they are doing it but the New York Yankees are hanging in there despite missing several key members of their everyday lineup.

The Nationals fashion themsleves an elite team but after losing the series opener to the Mets are closer to the middle than the top of the National League East. They opened the series with Stephen Strasburg on the hill but the Mets weren’t shy in welcoming him to the Big Apple.
This is a big series for the Diamondbacks as they look to close ground on the surprising Rockies at the top of the division.
The Yankees beat the Diamondbacks in Game 1 of this interleague series and they have won 2 straight overall.
Detroit is sitting at the top of a bunchy American League Central right now.
They won the opener of their series against Seattle last night pushing their road record to over .500 for the season.
The Padres may have won yesterday to break their losing streak but they are still struggling greatly this season. They are already 6 games back in the standing of the N.L. West standings and will need more than just fire in their bellies to overcome.
The Phillies should be encouraged by the fact that they got a solid pitching performance from Roy Halladay yesterday. After taking two of three against the Marlins they are at .500 but still looking way up at the Braves in the National League East standings.
The offense has been much less impressive as they have are the 4th worst team in the Majors in runs scored so far, a real disappointment given they were supposed to have a revamped lineup and the seeming return to form of OF Carl Crawford.
Today’s game is the rubber match in this series with these teams splitting the first 2 games. The Blue Jays had high hopes coming into this season, but they are only 3-5 and their pitching and offense have both struggled.
The forecasted demise of the New York Yankees might have been a little premature. After yesterday’s drubbing of Cleveland they are at .500 and if lefty Andy Pettite continues to turn back the clock they may have something to say all season long.
The Mets have taken advantage of their schedule to get off to a nice start.
They are just behind the Braves in the National League East standings and if they can get another series win in Philadelphia they will really be pleased with themselves.
The Phillies have not gotten off to a good start and are looking to salvage a game in this opening series against division rival Atlanta. Starter Roy Halladay gave a confounding performance yesterday, racking up the strikeouts while giving up the long ball.
The San Francisco Giants have absolutely dominated the first three games of the World Series. They’ll look to finish off the sweep in Detroit Sunday night.
The Giants got off to slow starts in the NLDS and NLCS, but they have jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the World Series. Detroit has only put up three runs in the first two games. The Giants pitching staff has starred so far in this series.
They took two completely different paths, but both the Tigers and the Giants are in the World Series in 2012. Detroit looked out of it at times during the season, but they came on at the right time and they are red hot right now.
The MLB regular season comes to an end next Wednesday, so this is our last chance to bring home a winner on a Thursday two-team parlay for this year.
