Now, as far as I know, tonight's lineups have not been announced, but those are my best guesses as to how they will look. Coste played DH for the Phils last night only because of the Rays' lefty starter, so I feel pretty good projecting Dobbs in that spot tonight (although Jenkins wouldn't be a terrible choice if healthy), and the same with Cliff Floyd at Rays DH (can't hit lefties so Aybar took that spot last night). In right field, the Rays could play either Baldelli or Gross (I thought I heard one of the commentators last night say it would be Baldelli, actually), but I stuck Gross in there because he's hit a little better this season. Rays could also play Zobrist at SS over Bartlett (and probably should). Apologies for all the extra underscores and periods, but the blogger post layout doesn't do spacing very well.
