You can also sign up for DIRECTV, which offers a multi-day free trial long enough to cover the Yankees/Rays series.
This will be the first and second installment of a four game series, and the implications it has for the AL East crown are absolutely massive.
The Rays currently hold a six game lead over the Yankees, and there are only seven games left in the season. The Yankees will need to sweep the entire series to seize the AL East division title, which will grant them the top seed in the American League.
