MLB Odds: Rays vs. Yankees MLB Picks – September 9, 2009: Another game, another walk-off win for the New York Yankees, as they continue to mow down the Division on their way to an American League East title. Last night, it was Nick Swisher’s turn to be the hero, as he blasted a shot into the Bronx night to give the pinstripes a 3-2 victory over the rival Rays.
Tonight, the sports betting odds favorite New York Yankees [-140 ML] will try to complete a sweep of the visiting Tampa Bay Rays [+130 ML] before getting a deserved day-off and welcoming the Baltimore Orioles for a weekend set at Yankee Stadium. 
However, if there are any question marks lingering in the Bronx Bombers locker room going into the postseason, they would be about RHP Joba Chamberlain (8-5, 4.41 ERA) and what role he’ll have in the playoffs.
Needless to say that every start from now till the end of the MLB Odds regular season will be very telling for the Yankees hard-throwing righty and his future in the rotation.
Tonight, “Joba Rules” will be going up against a tough Tampa Bay pitcher in RHP Jeff Niemann (12-5, 3.67 ERA). "You just feed off each other," Chamberlain said. "Everybody's throwing the ball great. Chad had a great outing (Tuesday) and the other two had great starts (Monday), so you've just got to continue to keep going and doing the things we've done to be successful starters."
Note: Last night Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter (2,218 hits) had another hitless game, as he remains 3 hits short of tying (4 from passing) Lou Gehrig’s mark of 2,721 hits, the most in Yankees history. The OVER/UNDER for this, MLB Odds: Rays vs. Yankees MLB Picks – September 9, 2009 game has been officially set at a combined total of 10 runs scored tonight.
