Yankees vs. Rays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Given that it is a division game and the Yankees just ended an extended losing streak I do not have a strong read on which team will cover or win. The total catches an eye because of the frequency in which it goes over when these teams play each other. Add the fact that the Rays have gone over eight out of their last ten I think bats will stay hot and hope to cash in on over 7.5 runs.
