The Rays are coming into this game with a 35-25 record overall and they are 14-12 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Minnesota Twins 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Jeffrey Springs was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Corey Kluber will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 3-2 with a 3.88 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 6 hits in 5 IP against the St. Louis Cardinals. They scored 15 runs in their last series averaging 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 15 runs against them averaging 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game with a 44-16 record overall and they are 26-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 11 of their last 12 games and are coming into this one on a 4 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Chicago Cubs 3-0 completing the sweep, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Rays on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Jameson Taillon was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Gerrit Cole will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 7 earned runs, 5 homers, and 2 BB with 3 strikeout on 8 hits in 2.1 innings played against the Minnesota Twins. They scored 28 runs in their last series averaging just over 9runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 5 runs against them averaging just under 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. The Yankees currently have the best record in the MLB and they have been playing very well recently as they have been putting together very long win streaks. They rarely lose games and when they do it is usually never 2 games straight. They have been crushing the ball all season as well and are coming off of a game where they just scored 18 runs. They have Cole on the mound here and he has been good in most of his starts but has been bad in a few already. He is coming off of a very bad start where he allowed 6 runs in the first 2 innings but his team still won that game because of how well they have been hitting the ball. They are going up against a Rays team with some great pitching but they have had the opposite problem as they have been struggling to hit the ball recently and score runs in their games. It does not really matter who is pitching though because the Yankees offense has been so good that they cannot be bet against until they show signs of slowing down, which they have not in weeks now keeping up this play consistently. The best bet here is on the Yankees to win this game on the runline.

"Jeffrey Springs set the tone, so that was really encouraging. Really appreciated his entire body of work today to limit a very good offense. Offensively, we did some good things, put some pressure on a younger pitcher, so encouraged by that." - Kevin Cash after his team’s win against the Twins on Sunday.

 

 

"I put him in the garage for a week and pulled him out for a spin. That's impressive." - Aaron Boone on Carpenter after his team’s win against the Cubs on Sunday.
