The New York Yankees have gone three straight games without a home run for the first time this season. The lineup is homer-dependent, and their leading hitter for average is now sidelined, in Alex Rodriguez. That has shortened a Yankees’ lineup, and the big hitters can be pitched around as the depth is challenged. The Rays have stayed in the race with their pitching and they bring into this one another promising young arm in Alex Cobb who has a 1.96 ERA in limited work. The Yankees often struggle with their veteran lineups vs. pitchers they haven't seen before. The Yanks send a rejuvenated A.J. Burnett against the Rays where he has pitched to a 3.41 career ERA allowing 40 less hits than innings pitched against them. Take the UNDER in this one.
