Rays vs. Yankees Prediction
Will today’s Rays and Yankees matchup at Yankee Stadium be another low-scoring affair between the two AL East rivals?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Yankees are -112 money line favorites to beat the Rays, who have odds of +104 to pull off the upset. With the pitching matchup set between Drew Smyly and Michael Pineda, the over/under is sitting at 7.5 runs.
Bet Today’s Rays vs. Yankees Game
With Smyly on the mound, the under has been an outstanding play for bettors. In Smyly’s last 12 road starts, the under is 10-1-1. In his last 14 starts versus the American League East, the under is 10-3-1 and is also 15-5-2 in his last 22 starts overall.

The under has also been cashing in recent Yankee games, going 6-1-2 in their last nine games overall. The under is also 3-1-1 in their last five games versus the rest of the American League East, is 5-0-2 in their last seven games versus an opponent with a losing record, and is 8-3-1 in their last 12 home games versus a left-handed starter.
OUR PREDICTION: After the Yankees won 3-2 yesterday on a Brett Gardner walkoff home run, the under is now 12-4-2 in the last 18 meetings between these two teams. The under is also 4-1-2 in the last seven meetings between these two teams in the Bronx, so look for the combined score to once again fall under the total in a Rays-Yankees matchup.
