They enter this game with a 83-56 record overall and have a home record of 48-22. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Rays on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday.

The current betting odds have the Rays listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rays have been very hot on a 9-1 run in their last 10 games and they are scoring a lot of runs in these games while also pitching very well. They are closing in on the Yankees in the AL East as they are only behind by 3.5 games now, and that could be even closer after this series against them. The Yankees were winning some games last week but they have not been playing well overall over the last month and they have started to slip back in their slump now with a few losses lately. The Yankees also have a lot of their pitching staff and key players in their lineup injured as they try to hobble to the finish line, but the Rays have been getting healthier than even and with the way they have been playing recently, they can smell the blood in the water here. They are going to come for a sweep here against a banged up Yankees team and they are not going to slow down anytime soon now that the division is once again within reach after the Yankees had a double digit lead for so long. The Yankees are going to continue to fall as they focus more on looking ahead to the playoffs, but if they keep this up they could even fall out of a Wild Card spot with the race tightening up now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rays to win this game.
