Juan Sotto crushed his sixth homer of the season to lift the New York Yankees over the Tampa Bay Rays 3-5 in the series-opener between the two AL East rivals. Soto, the Yankees’ prized acquisition in the offseason, has belted a homer in back-to-back games. Will the home run-hitting streak continue on Saturday? DraftKings already released the odds for Saturday’s ballgames, including the player props betting lines where Soto is one of the hot picks for over/under home runs. The Yankees outfielder is batting a team-high .347 with five homers and 20 RBIs in 75 at-bats. Soto’s strong start has given a big boost to the Yankees, who are currently at the top of the AL East standings with a 14-6 record – 1 ½ game behind the Baltimore Orioles. For a team that has big bats Soto, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Judge, the Yankees rank 10th in batting averages (.247), 3rd in on-base percentages (.343), and 11th in slugging percentages (.392) with 13th best 90 runs. The Rays, meanwhile, own the fourth-highest ERA in the majors at 4.74 with 1.39 WHIP and .256 BAA.
