Our New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Yankees win series behind explosive offense.
The Yankees, averaging 5.5 runs per game, are my pick to win and cover -1.5 runs in Sunday’s series finale vs. the Rays. New York RHP Will Warren (6.16 ERA) allowed four runs in a 3-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, though the Yankees' bullpen is giving up a 1.82 ERA in their last five games. Rays starter Taj Bradley is a strong pitcher with a 4.91 ERA, but it’s still up in the air if he can get enough run support from the Rays, who are batting .164 with 1.2 runs a game over their last five matches. Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Yankees -1.5 Runs
Prediction:
Yankees -1.5 Runs
