The Tampa Bay Rays seek to end a four-game losing streak on Saturday as they duke it out again with the New York Yankees in Game 2 of their series at Yankee Stadium.
The Rays have lost four in a row since their five-game winning streak towards the end of April. Tampa Bay, who are batting .248 with 121 runs this season, have only scored 3 runs across four games, suffering a pair of 0-3 shutout losses at the hands of the Kansas City Royals and the Yankees.
Still the No.1 team in the American League East, the 19-13 Yankees are 3-2 in their last five games and won their series-opener vs. the Rays 3-0 on Friday. Max Fried dazzled on the mound as he stifled the Rays with zero earned runs and six strikeouts in 7.0 innings. New York is pitching a 3.72 ERA as a team.

Our New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Fearless Forecast: the Yankees doubles down on the Rays.
Pick the Yankees at -1.5 runs. Yankees starter Clark Schmidt (5.73) isn’t a shutout pitcher like Max Fried, but he provides solid 4-5 innings on the mound, which is enough for New York's heavy hitters to deal damage and build a comfortable lead. Zach Littell (5.79) is a serviceable pitcher who has had good games lately. However, Saturday’s duty will surely be a big test for him since he will take on the Yankees, averaging 6.3 runs per game over their last five games. Talking about home court advantage, New York has also covered the spread in three of their last four games at Yankee Stadium. Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Yankees -1.5 Runs.
