This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. It all comes down to Game Five for the team that was expected to win the American League and the team that finished with the best record in the American League. New York began the series with a 9-3 victory but followed it up with an 8-4 loss on Tuesday and a 7-5 defeat Wednesday when its starting pitching plans faltered. They are able to get Gerrit Cole back on the mound tonight but is coming off an average start in Game One where he allowed three runs in six innings. Tyler Glasnow is pitching on two days of rest, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. If Glasnow is used in an opener role, it is possible Blake Snell could follow with the hopes the Rays can get the lead and hand it to high-leverage relievers Diego Castillo, Nick Anderson and Pete Fairbanks, who were not used Thursday. The Rays are 11-2 in his 13 starts including 10 straight wins. The Rays are 19-7 in their last 26 games when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game. 10* (934) Tampa Bay Rays
