Rosario collects two hits, including triple

Amed Rosario went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI against the Angels on Thursday. Rosario plated Richie Palacios with his triple in the first inning off Griffin Canning to give Tampa Bay a 1-0 cushion. The three-bagger comes a day after Rosario blasted a two-run homer. The former top prospect has been swinging the bat well to begin the 2024 campaign. He has seen in his .339 average and .532 slugging mark. Rosario has been streaky throughout his career. He appears to be on the right side of that line to begin 2024.

Judge hits two-run single in ninth

Aaron Judge delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the ninth inning on Wednesday, leading the Yankees to a 6-4 comeback victory over the Blue Jays. Judge stepped to the plate to face Blue Jays lefty Tim Mayza with two outs in the ninth inning of a tie ballgame, and wound up coming through with an infield single down the left-field line that scored two runs on the play, putting New York ahead for good in this one. The 31-year-old former AL MVP’s ice-cold start at the dish has been well-documented so far, so he certainly needed a moment like this in a big spot. It was his lone hit in five at-bats, but Judge certainly came through when it mattered most.

Yankees are 3-12 SU in their last 15 games played on a Friday when playing at home.

Yankees are 5-16 SU in their last 21 games played on a Friday when playing at home.

Rays vs. Yankees MLB BETTING PREDICTION

Take New York. The Yankees own a 120 wRC+ against left-handed pitching. Alexander holds an inflated 6.46 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 15 1/3 innings this season. This will be his second start and even if he holds his own, he’ll be “supported” by a Tampa Bay bullpen that owns the highest ERA (6.00) in Major League Baseball.

Rays vs. Yankees MLB Playoffs Prediction: NEW YORK YANKEES -162
