Tampa Bay hosts New York after winning the opener. Cam Schlittler and Freddy Peralta are listed as the scheduled starters.
The Tampa Bay Rays host the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the American League Division Series, carrying a 1–0 series lead after winning Saturday’s opener. CBS Sports reports that Jonathan Aranda’s home run decided the first game.
Cam Schlittler is scheduled to start for New York, opposite Tampa Bay’s Freddy Peralta. The game is listed for 8 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field in St Petersburg.
The Rays won the regular-season series 7–6, according to CBS Sports. The preview lists Schlittler at 14–6 with a 1.95 ERA and Peralta at 10–11 with a 4.42 ERA.
CBS Sports reports New York as a -126 favourite, with the total set at 6.5 runs. Those figures are betting-market details, not a measure of the series score or a game result.
The preview says the SportsLine model favours over 6.5 runs, an outcome it reached in 63 per cent of its simulations. That is a forecast; the model’s money-line selection is not disclosed in the published text.
