MLB Betting Picks – Yankees Visit Rays With Big Stakes

The New York Yankees were swept on the road by the Texas Rangers over the weekend, and that has put them in a dangerous MLB betting position as they visit the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa is 9-2 SU in their last 11 games at home and sit just a half-game behind the Yankees in the standings. Both teams are likely to make the playoffs, but with home field advantage in the pennant race on the line, the stakes couldn’t be bigger this week.

C.C. Sabathia gets the start for the Yankees, with a 19-6 SU record in 30 starts backed by a steady 3.14 ERA. The hefty lefty for New York was riding a 6-game winning streak recently until he was battered by the Orioles in 6.1 innings, giving up 9 hits and 5 earned runs in a 6-2 loss.

New York Yankees (87-56) vs. Tampa Bay Rays (86-56)

Monday, September 13th — Tropicana Field — 7:10pm EST

MLB Betting Lines:

NYY – CC Sabathia (L) -1.5 +145 / -115 / O 7.5 +100
TB – David Price (L) +1.5 -165 / -105 / U 7.5 -120

Against Tampa Bay, however, Sabathia has had slightly better numbers. In two games when facing the Rays on their home turf this season, Sabathia has gone 13.4 innings and allowed 9 hits and 3 runs. Overall, with Sabathia on the stripe, the Yankees have gone 2-1 SU against the Rays.

Countering for Tampa Bay will be lefty David Price, who owns a 17-6 SU winning record over 27 starts with a 2.87 ERA. Since August, the Rays have gone 4-2 SU with Price starting. Against the Yankees, Price is 1-1 SU but went 7.2 innings and gave up only 7 hits and 3 runs in a home stand back in April.

Where to Watch: YES, SUN

The road has been a cruel mistress to the Yankees lately, and their 2-5 SU record in their past 7 road games doesn’t give rise to much MLB betting optimism on their side of the line. Tampa’s 9-2 SU record in 11 recent home games definitely should, especially with the plucky home dogs needing some big wins in this series to give their biggest rival a massive headache.
