Free Betting Pick: New York Yankees -175
The New York Yankees have dominated the Tampa Bay Rays as of recent, especially when CC Sabathia is on the mound as they have won 12 of their last 16 meetings. The Tampa Bay Rays played 4 games in the matter of 3 days against the Baltimore Orioles which is problematic for me considering the lack of depth they have in their starting rotation. The New York Yankees are currently rolling as they have the 2nd best record in baseball and a majority of their success has come on the road where they bring a 33-15 record into this matchup. The Yankees have the top offense in the MLB which offsets one of the best pitching staffs in the league, but CC Sabathia will prove to be a difference maker in this one. Final Score Prediction. New York Yankees win 5-4.
