The Yankees are dominating MLB and showing no signs of slowing down. They’ve swept three of their four series in June and today, June 14, it’s the Yankees vs. the Tampa Bay Rays on the Yankees’ home field.
The Yankees and Rays split their last series in late May, but all four games were at Tropicana Field. The Rays trail the Yanks by nine games in the American League Standings.
While the Rays swept the Cardinals in the early days of June, they had a tougher battle against the Twins in Minnesota. They pulled out a shutout win when they were down two games, though, and are coming off that high into the series in New York.
The Yankees are solidly ahead in the American League and four games ahead of the Mets, who lead the National League. We’ll see if they can stay strong, but we don’t have much doubt.

- Wednesday, June 15, 7:05 p.m. ET — Shane McClanahan (7-2) vs. Nestor Cortes (5-2)
- Cortes had a rare 8-1 loss to the Twins last Wednesday, but he’s been an incredible asset to the Yankees this year. He’s posted an ERA of 1.96 so far this season.

- Severino comes to this matchup with a 2.80 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. He has some uneven pitching early this season, but in his past four starts, he’s back to form, throwing his famous slider 25% of the time and posting a 1.71 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 11.3 K/9.
