MLB Playoffs 2020: Odds, TV Schedule, Fantasy Predictions for Friday

The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays will fight it out for the final league championship series berth Friday night in Game 5 of the ALDS.

The American League East rivals split the first four games of the best-of-five series at Petco Park and will turn to their top hurlers to open the lone contest on the MLB playoff schedule.

Gerrit Cole returns to the mound for the Yankees after he helped win Game 1, while Tampa Bay's Game 2 starter Tyler Glasnow opens the series-deciding contest.

While it is intriguing to play the two pitchers with high strikeout rates in daily fantasy contests, it is hard to know how they will react to pitching on short rest.
