Tampa Bay vs. NY (Yankees ML): BEST BET MLB
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -130.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Loss
NY will ride the momentum of Friday's comeback win on Saturday against Rays SP Zach Eflin. The Yankees have their swagger back and are out to prove it this season, especially against the teams that have been tormenting them the past few years (i.e. Houston and Tampa Bay).

Eflin had a breakout 2023, but he's a fly ball pitcher who isn't striking out hitters at the rate (six-point drop) he did last season. The Bronx Bombers' 11.4% home run-to-fly ball ratio is among the top in MLB, which isn't surprising given New York's stable of stud HR trotters. That includes new Yankee Juan Soto, who ignited New York's win on Friday with a home run. It should come as little surprise the Yanks are 5-0 when Soto goes yard...

Eflin is in trouble against this Yankees' lineup and TB's bullpen has been awful (5.81 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and a league-leading 15 HRs allowed). Bet on the Bronx Bombers to outslug the Rays today at Yankee Stadium!
