AAA's VERY EARLY TOP TOTAL OF THE WEEKEND (1:05 EST FIRST PITCH!)
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. NY Yankees,
Total: 9.00 | 101.00 Under
Result: Push
This is an 8* TOP TOTAL on the OVER between the Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees.

These teams combined for just seven runs in the Yankees 6-1 victory yesterday, but we're expecting a much more offensive "slug-fest" on Saturday afternoon:

Blake Snell: He's 0-6 with a 4.86 ERA. Snell gave up three runs off six hits and a walk over seven innings in a loss to the Orioles on Monday. Snell's overlal performance is not indicative of his win/loss record, but he's still 0-3 with a 4.72 ERA on the road.

Caleb Smith: He's 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA. Smith gave up four runs off five hits and a walk over 3.2 innings in a fortunate no-decision against the Mariners on Sunday. Smith looked good over the first three innings of his MLB debut, but then imploded in the fourth.

The bottom line: Tampa Bay has seen the total go OVER the number in 21 of 32 against teams with winning records this year, while New York has seen the total go OVER the number in 27 of 45 against clubs with winning records. We're expecting these two "gas cans" to get chased early, play the OVER.
