The New York Yankees have dominated the Tampa Bay Rays at home as of recent as they have won 19 of their last 26 meetings. The New York Yankees have kept themselves in 1st place despite having a depleted roster for most of the season, but things could start to get dangerous as they return superstars Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. The Tampa Bay Rays have had problems this season when Ryan Yarbrough is on the mound as he is posting a 5.59 ERA, and I don’t expect things to get much better for him on the road. Final Score Prediction, New York Yankees win 6-3.
