ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Rookie right-hander Dellin Betances will make the final start of the season Wednesday night for the New York Yankees against the Tampa Bay Rays in a game crucial to the determining of the AL wild-card representative.

Betances, 23, a 6-foot-8 native of Brooklyn, is expected to go no more than three innings and then give way to a procession of relief pitchers as the Yankees prepare to host Game 1 of the American League Division series against an as-yet-undetermined opponent Friday night.

Tampa has won four straight, and the Rays have won 18 of their past 24 at home. Price (12-13, 3.35 ERA) has been decent of late, allowing two earned runs or less in each of his past four starts. He’s just 4-6 since the All-Star break, but has a 2.86 ERA and has struck out 90 in 91.1 innings over his 14 post-break starts. Along with the strong start at Yankee Stadium in August, he held New York to two runs over 7.1 innings in a tough-luck loss at home on July 20. He is 6-3 with a 2.78 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in his career pitching in September.

The 23-year-old Betances (0-0, 27.00 ERA) was wild in his only Major League appearance, walking four and hitting a batter en route to allowing two runs in two-thirds of an inning against the Rays last Thursday. The 6-foot-8 righty is considered one of baseball’s best pitching prospects, but after walking 70 in 126.1 innings between Double- and Triple-A this year (15 BB in 21 IP at Triple-A), it’s clear he’s not ready for the big leagues.
