New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Mike King vs. Ryan Thompson

Game one of the doubleheader between the Yankees and Rays was so much fun, I think they ought to do it again.

The second half will look a little different, because instead of turning to workhorse starters, both teams will deploy bullpen games. The Yankees plan to use Mike King as an opener, his which marks his first start in the major leagues. King, 25, has appeared in two games in 2020, allowing six earned runs in seven innings. The right-hander relies mostly on a sinker, but his curveball has a 38.5% whiff rate.
