Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays will be in the Bronx on Thursday for the third game of a three-game series against the Yankees.
The 1-4 loss against New York on Tuesday was the second loss in a row for the Rays, who looked to bounce back on Wednesday evening.

Lefty Blake Snell will take the mound Thursday for Tampa Bay. He currently has a 13-5 record with a 2.18 ERA and 143 strikeouts.
I won’t be surprised to see the Rays struggle in the batter’s box, considering as a team, they haven’t hit a home run against Tanaka and only have three RBIs.
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have a 7-3 record over their previous 10 games and will be looking for a second consecutive win against the Rays Wednesday evening.
Masahiro Tanaka will be on the bump for the Yanks when they wrap up the series against Tampa Bay Thursday afternoon.

He currently has a 4.08 ERA with 111 strikeouts and a record of 9-3. While New York has had a few issues against Snell in the past, they currently have three hitters in Austin Romine, Miguel Andujar, and Gleyber Torres who are each batting over .300 against the southpaw.

Free Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction:
Let’s face it. The Rays aren’t going to play in the postseason this year. They are simply too far back in a division where the top two teams, Boston and New York, have dominated the American league. Don’t tell me there’s a chance they could get the second wildcard spot. Just trust me.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Off
The only thing surprising about the Yankees season is that with 75 wins in the middle of August, they are more than likely going to end up with a wildcard spot. That being said, I like the Ray’s chances when Snell is well rested. He is 6-0 in his last six trips to the mound on five days rest.
