Series Preview: Yankees @ Rays

Yankees @ Rays
Tropicana Field
(3 games)

Again, this series is meaningless so I don't have much to say about it. It will be interesting to see if Tex can hit another homer and get to 40, if CC can reach 20 wins for the first time in his career, and if Jeter can hit two more homers to set the record for most players with 20 or more homers on a team. Besides that, the only thing that matters is that nobody gets hurt.
