Tampa Bay at New York

New York is eight games back of Tampa Bay in the AL East so the Yankees must take advantage of these head-to-head matchups if they want to gain ground. New York has won five of their past seven to edge a little closer, including 10-5 over Oakland on Weenesday. The Yanks scored seven times in the fifth inning highlighted by Anthony Volpe's grand slam. Domingo German goes tonight for the Bronx Bombers and he comes off two good performances allowing three runs on six hits in 13 1/3 innings, including a 3-2 Yankee win over the Rays on Saturday. Tampa Bay has lost two in a row and has scored a total of only six runs its past three games and the Rays are 2-8 their past 10 road games versus teams with winning records. New York has won 70 of its past 102 home games. Take the Yankees as a Max Play.
