#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: 100.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Tampa Bay Rays
Rating: 5/10*

The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 7-3 on Sunday, and I like the Rays to clinch this three-game series with another win tonight.

Jake Odorizzi did not look particularly sharp during spring training, but he went 2-1 with a 2.29 ERA in three starts against the Yankees last season and no one on the current Yankees roster has good numbers against him. CC Sabathia meanwhile was knocked around for nine runs on 20 hits and six walks in 14 2/3 innings through three starts against the Rays in 2016.

Not a great spot for the Bronx Bombers with a day off on the road since Sunday's matchup, and we can note that the Yankees are 6-15 in their last 21 games following an off day.
