Our Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Rays are the slight favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. This goes back to the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Cole has made just four away starts this season, but has allowed 11 earned runs over 20.1 innings. McClanahan, on the other hand, has made seven home starts this season, having allowed 13 runs (nine earned) over 36.2 innings.
Given this disparity in the starting pitchers in terms of how they have performed on the road vs at home, our Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees prediction is: Tampa Bay Rays ML.
