Rays vs. Yankees Prediction and Picks for 8/17/2022

The New York Yankees may still have a comfortable lead in the AL East, but tonight's series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays is arguably more of a must-win for them than the Rays.

Tampa Bay has taken the first two games in the series to move into second in the AL East, but while a sweep would see them still be eight games back of New York, it would be the Yankees' 12 loss in 14 games and 18th in 26 games since the All-Star break.
