Yankees vs. Rays Prediction
The under has been profitable in previous meetings between the Yankees and Rays, who will meet at 7:10 p.m. ET on Monday night to open a new series in Tampa, FL. With Gerrit Cole and Shane McClanahan on the mound tonight, is the under the best bet on the board?
Game Snapshot
961 New York Yankees (-132) at 962 Tampa Bay rays (+110); o/u 6.5

Tropicana Field, Tampa, FL
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Gleyber Torres finished 3-for-5 with a homer, a double and three RBI against the Blue Jays on Sunday. Even Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton struggling through down weeks hasn’t slowed the Yankees much. Part of the reason is that Torres is 11-for-29 with three homers and five doubles in his last eight games (seven starts). His OPS is 100 points higher than DJ LeMahieu’s (838 to 739), which should make a difference as the Yankees go about setting their lineups this week.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Taylor Walls hit an RBI double on Sunday in the Rays’ loss to the Orioles. Walls crushed an RBI double into the right-center field gap in the fourth inning, which eluded center fielder Cedric Mullins, and allowed a run to cross the plate. The 25-year-old shortstop was credited with an RBI on the play, and it wound up being the Rays’ lone run in the low-scoring affair.

On the other side, the under is 5-1-1 in the Rays’ last seven games as a home dog, is 5-1 in their last six games versus a right-handed starter and is 15-5-2 in their last 22 games versus AL East opponents.
