New York lost the series opener 2-1 on Friday night, but the Bronx Bombers are still 21-12 on the road and 27 games over .500 and 16 games in front of the Rays in the AL East. Tampa Bay used six pitchers and will likely do another "bullpen game" today against Sonny Gray who not only has pitched well in June with a 2-0 record and 2.63 ERA, but also has done his best work on the road this season with a 2.93 ERA and .228 opponent batting average in seven starts. The Yankees have won eight of the last 11 meetings and they have won Gray's last four road starts. Also, the Yanks have won 39 of their last 55 games when following a loss and 18-of-24 after allowing no more than two runs their previous game dating to last season. The Rays have lost five of their last six versus right-handed starters and Tampa Bay is 5-14 its last 19 games against teams with winning percentages of at least .600. Take the Yankees.
