MLB | Rays vs Yankees

Play on: Rays +140 at Ace

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Tampa Bay Rays +140

The Tampa Bay Rays are the hottest team in baseball right now.  They have gone 21-4 in their last 25 games overall.  They have the rest advantage over the Yankees after having yesterday off while New York played Toronto on Thursday.  I would argue they have the starting pitching advantage as well, so they should not be this big of underdogs to the Yankees tonight.  Nick Martinez is 4-1 with a 1.51 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in nine starts for the Rays this season.  He has given up only 9 earned runs in 53 2/3 innings.  Gerrit Cole will be making his first start of the season for the Yankees and won't be his same dominant self in his first start back.  The Yankees have a poor, taxed bullpen after their four-game series witht he Blue Jays.  They have actually played five straight games decided by 2 runs or fewer, including four one-run games.  They have a banged up lineup as well that has scored a total of one run in their last two games combined.  Give me the Rays.
