James Shields the Tampa Bay Devils Rays , starting hurler against the Yankees tonight is in great current form, and off a one hit shut out against the Angels in his last start . The Rays right hander has been particularly strong at home this season, allowing no runs in his last 18 innings of work here in Tropicana Field , giving up just 3 hits in the process. Red hot veteran thrower Mike Mussina returns fire for the NY Yankees. The zoo crew pitcher is in great form , winning 4 straight starts, while allowing just 8 earned runs during that span. Considering how well these guys are throwing the ball , it will be an easy decision to back this contest to stay under the total. Final notes & Key Trends: Under is 8-0 in Yankees last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of .600 or more. Under is 8-1 in Rays last 9 home games. Yankees have gone under in 20 of 29 against right-handed starters like Shields this season Play under - Courtesy of Alex Smart

The Florida Marlins have been cooled off by the Cincinnati Reds so far, losing the first two games of this four-game series, but we look for Florida to get back in the win column tonight.

Ricky Nolasco is generally regarded as a weak link in the Florida rotation, but he has allowed three runs or less in three of his last four starts. Granted, he went six innings in two of those outings and just five innings in the other, but we would actually take a repeat of those efforts here, as we have great confidence in a Marlins bullpen that ranks fourth in the Major League with a collective 3.17 ERA. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati pen ranks 25th at 4.34, making the Fish a Bullpen System play here.

Bronson Arroyo has been a real mystery for the Reds, as he is simply too talented to have a 7.14 ERA and a horrendous 1.71 WHIP after eight starts. Still, whatever the reason, Arroyo just can’t get going and he was not sharp the last time he faced the Marlins, allowing four earned runs and 12 baserunners in six innings. Furthermore, the bullpen cannot be counted on for relief at this point either.

Florida had won seven straight games entering this series, and we look for them to start a new streak tonight.
