New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays

Drew Rasmussen is one of the best starters in this slate (ERA 2.78, WHIP 0.90, 96 K in 97 IP) and faces a Yankees lineup that is historically cold — 3.1 R/G in the last 10 games with a .171 AVG and .518 OPS. New York has 6 hitters showing ❄️ cold indicators and are on a 2-game losing streak with a brutal L10 of 2-8. Tampa Bay at 54-36 is the best team on this slate, playing at home, on a W2 streak with a 7-3 L10. While Blackburn has been solid (ERA 2.22), his small IP sample (44.2 IP) and the scale of Tampa's advantages make the Rays a strong lean despite the -150 price.
