Tampa Bay Rays vs NY Yankees Prediction

I’m not excited to back the NY Yankees given their struggles and Carlos Rodon hasn’t pitched well in recent starts. However, the Rays aren’t lighting the world on fire, and they’ve had offensive struggles as well. Ryan Pepiot also has a 4.93 home ERA, which is something the Yankees should be excited about. The price is cheap and this feels like a spot the Yankees can use to stop the bleeding. Give me the Yankees.
