#Rays vs. Braves: Tyler Glasnow will be the difference for Tampa Bay

All-Pro safety Jamal Adams is gone. Traded to Seattle just days after racist allegations surfaced against Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is also President Trump’s ambassador to the U.K. Mayor Bill de Blasio is planning a trip to Woody Plaza, with a can of yellow paint.

Experts are expecting the Tampa Bay Rays to close the gap on the Yankees in the AL East. Rays earned a wild-card spot last year, seven games back of New York. Opening weekend saw them go 2-1 hosting the Buffalo Blue Jays. Braves move in and Tyler Glasnow makes his first start of the season. Put up impressive numbers last year going 6-1 with a 1.78 ERA. Atlanta played Sunday night at Citi Field. The Braves will hand the ball to Mike Foltynewicz. “High Voltage” managed to go 8-6, 4.54 ERA in an injury-riddled campaign when his velocity was a concern. Play 20 units on the Rays.
