MLB 3-Pack
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. NY Yankees,
Total: 8.50 | -115.00 Under
Result: Win
Play: Over
Rating: 8*

The New York Yankees are riding a five-game winning streak after a 5-4 win against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings, and I think we'll see another game fly over the total on Friday.

Left-hander Blake Snell (5-7, 3.39 ERA) takes the ball for the Rays. He held the Blue Jays to one run on a pair of hits in six innings of a 7-5 win his last time out. We can however note that the over is 4-0 in Snell's last four starts overall and he's rarely going deep into the games. The Rays bullpen has been very active lately and that could turn into an issue for them.

The Yankees turn to Michael Pineda (6-11, 5.10) who held Baltimore to a apir of runs in four innings his last time out. He had surrendered five runs in each of his last two starts though, He's 0-1 with a 4.78 ERA in his last five starts. The over is 5-2 in Pineda's last seven starts overall. Pineda is far from a workhorse, and the Yankees bullpen has much like the Rays' seen a lot of action lately.

Over is 8-0 in Rays last eight road games vs. a right-handed starter, over is 5-2 in Yankees last seven games vs. a left-handed starter.
