One of the most anticipated series of the season so far starts on Monday evening, as the Tampa Bay Rays host the New York Yankees at Tropicana Field.
The two rivals are separated by just three wins at the top of the AL East standings, with the Rays currently holding the slim advantage. The Rays have also held the edge in recent contests against the Yankees, winning four of their last five matchups, and will come into the series in better form, thanks to nine wins from their last 11 fixtures.
In contrast, the Yankees have stuttered of late. Their 1-6 loss at home to the Twins on Sunday means that New York have won just one of their last ten matches. Swiftly turning that poor form around is essential if the Yankees want to stay in touch with the Rays and remain in postseason contention.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees Prediction
Although the Rays are in far better form than the Yankees, we think this is going to be an extremely tight matchup.
As such, we are going to avoid the moneyline and instead recommend a total runs wager.
The Rays' defense has been playing lights out over the last few weeks, but are not quite fully firing offensively. Meanwhile, the Yankees are looking short of confidence with the bat, but with Cam Schlittler starting on the mound, we are confident that they will keep this a low scoring contest.
Our prediction for Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees is: Under 7.5 runs.
