New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction & Betting Tips - MLB
by Joseph King | in MLB Prediction
Monday in Major League Baseball sees an AL East rivalry when the New York Yankees take on the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. New York has been flying high all season but are experiencing a downturn in form as of late, resulting in a disappointing 2-1 series loss to bitter rivals Boston. However, the Bronx Bombers still sit atop the division with a comfortable 10 game lead over the second place Blue Jays and their 72-43 record is the fourth-best in all of baseball. The visiting Tampa Bay Rays come into New York looking to put some breathing room between themselves and Baltimore in the race for the AL Wild Card. The Rays’ 60-53 record sees them barely holding on to the third and final Wild Card spot with Baltimore trailing them by only a game and a half.

New York Yankees - Tampa Bay Rays: Form Analysis
New York will be looking to bounce back after a tough stretch of games has left them with only two wins from their last 10 games. The Yankees return home here after nine consecutive away games and some home cooking could be just what the doctor ordered. New York boasts one of the league’s best home records with 41 wins and only 15 losses in the Bronx. The visiting Rays are 6-4 in their last 10 games but will have to contend with a sub .500 away record at 25-31. They’re also coming up against a team that has had their number all season, losing seven of 10 games to New York.

New York Yankees & Tampa Bay Rays Squad Analysis
Gerrit Cole gets the start for New York and the 31-year-old will be looking to add another win to his 9-4 record with 3.38 ERA on the year. The big righty threw an absolute gem in his last outing, going seven shutout innings while only allowing four total hits and striking out eight. The Yankees were unable to provide Cole with any support and he was unlucky not to get the win in what ended up being a 1-0 loss to Seattle. New York’s bats have struggled in the past week, totaling only eight runs through their last five games and being held scoreless on two occasions.
New York Yankees - Tampa Bay Rays Key Points
- These two teams have met 10 times this year, with the Yankees holding a 7-3 series lead.

Our New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
We’re going to back the Yankees to get the win in this game and to cover the -1.5 spread as well. This price is too good to pass up on with Cole on the mound and with how well the five-time All-Star has been pitching against the Rays this season. To add to the challenge, Tampa Bay has struggled mightily against right-handed pitching this season and will have to face one of the league’s best in this matchup. Although the Rays haven’t announced a starter at the time of writing, the Yankees lineup shouldn’t have too much trouble with whoever the visitors put out on the mound.

Yankees to win
There’s still some definite value in just taking the Yankees to win while ignoring the run line. Cole should have another strong start and the Yankees bats are always a threat to explode despite a recent cold streak.
