Rays vs. Yankees Prediction
Will today’s Rays and Yankees game in the Bronx be a low-scoring affair at 1:05PM ET? Here’s our prediction.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Yankees are now -131 money line favorites to beat the Rays after opening with odds of -142. With Blake Snell set to face Marsahiro Tanaka in the pitching matchup, the over/under is sitting at 7.5 runs.

The under is also 6-2-1 in their last nine games versus an opponent with a losing record and is 6-2-4 in their last 12 contests versus a foe that scored five runs or more in its previous game.

On the other side, the under is 5-1-2 in the Yankees’ last eight games overall and 4-1-2 in their last seven home games despite Yankee Stadium playing more like a bandbox. The under is 4-1-1 in the Bronx Bombers’ last six games when their opponent allows five runs or more in their previous game as well.
OUR PREDICTION: The under is 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams in New York and 11-4-2 in the last 17 meetings overall. The under is 6-2 in Tanaka’s last eight games overall and 6-1 in his last seven starts after scoring five runs or more in their previous game as well.
