The Rays will start their 31-year-old relief pitcher, Shawn Armstrong, on the mound today. In his last and only start this season, he gave up zero runs on three hits in three innings. He hasn't pitched more than three innings in a game yet, has an ERA of 4.72, and a WHIP of 1.41. He should be at his striking best today as he takes on the victory-hungry lineup of the Yankees.

The Yankees will start Frankie Montas on the mound against the Rays. He hasn't had a decent outing so far this season. He has an ERA of 3.94, a WHIP of 1.21, and a W-L of 4-11. He hasn't been commanding on the hill in any of his previous outings and is struggling to rake in a decent win for the team. It will be a battle between the bullpens today.
