The Tampa Bay Rays (30-11) and New York Yankees (23-18) meet Sunday afternoon to cap off a 4-game AL East series at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is set for 1:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rays vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Tied 3-3
Tampa Bay let leads slip away in 1-run losses Saturday (6-5) and Sunday (9-8). The due-some-regression Rays are 1-4 in their last 5 games.
New York has evidently busted out of a batting slump that saw the club average 2.63 runs per game from April 28-May 6. The return of Aaron Judge from the IL (hip) has obviously helped. Judge has reached base 8 times in his last 4 games, and he hit 2 HRs in a Saturday come-from-behind win. The Yanks have a 7.43 scoring average over their last 7 games.
