The New York Yankees will kick off a seven-game road trip today in Game One of a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, FL. Fans can follow the action on Prime Video once the game gets underway at 7:05 p.m. EST.

After a torrid start that saw him hit six home runs in the first seven games of the season, Aaron Judge has come back down to Earth a bit. He had gone ten games without a home run prior to last night’s 4-3 win over the Royals at home. His solo shot in the seventh broke a 3-3 tie and put the Yankees up for good, 4-3. As for the Rays, Tampa Bay has been playing at home since April 8 with mixed results. They have gone 1-2 against the Angels, 2-1 against the Braves, and 1-2 against the Red Sox. Tampa Bay went 3-3 vs. the Yankees at home last season.

Will Warren will get the start for the Yankees. He’s gone 1-0 in three starts with a 5.14 ERA and 1.14 WHIP.  Taj Bradley is set to start for the Rays. Bradley is off to a solid start, having gone 2-0 in three starts with a 3.71 ERA and 1.06 WHIP.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees Prediction

On paper, this looks like a game the Rays should win; Warren does not have an impressive track record, and Bradley has been lights out this season. Yes, the explosive potential of the Yankees' lineup is always a concern. But I expect Bradley to keep the NY bats quiet and for the TB lineup to wake up against a suspect pitcher.
