Chase Whitley has pitched well in the absence of Masahiro Tanaka but with Chris Capuano about to return to the big leagues Chase could be headed to the minors. That trip would be a lot easier if it came on the heels of a big win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Rays lead the four game series two to one going into tonight's match up. Chase will need some run support and to start the game well. The one two punch of Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner have been dynamite! So if Chase get's off to a good start he should be pitching with a lead.
