If you have OCD, no doubt that 1/2 game differential in games played between the Rays and Yankees has caused you some discomfort. Relax. It goes away tomorrow as the Yankees have the day off and the Rays travel to Kansas City to take on the Royals for their final series of the regular season. That means that at the end of the day tomorrow, the Rays will either be tied with the Yankees (if they lose) or open up the lead to a full game (if they win).
As for tonight, both teams lost (Rays 2-0 to Baltimore and Yankees 8-4 to Toronto), so status remains quo in the divisional standings but both teams numbers go down by one.
MAGIC NUMBERS:
Rays: 3
Yankees: 4
THURSDAY’S GAME TO WATCH
Rays @ Kansas City 8:10 p.m.
