After last night’s thrilling National League Wild Card game, the expectations may be fairly high for tonight’s AL game. Our division foes who utterly dominated the Jays this year will take on the one team the Jays managed to utterly dominate. After losing the wild card game last year, the Athletics should have extra fire under them to win this one.

Here are tonight’s lineups.

Today's Lineups

RAYS ATHLETICS
Yandy Diaz - 1B Marcus Semien - SS
Tommy Pham - DH Ramon Laureano - RF
