Rays vs Yankees Parlay Picks
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Yankees Moneyline” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/nyyd.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/new-york-yankees” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
The Yankees will attempt to bounce back after dropping Game 1 last night. New York is playing this series without their superstar, Aaron Judge.
Tonight, the Yankees will send All-Star Max Fried to the mound. The southpaw has been outstanding this season, posting a 2.62 ERA and an 11-4 record.
Fried has dominated this Rays lineup, holding them to a .109 batting average over 46 at-bats. I anticipate another strong outing from Fried tonight, setting the tone for the Yankees to earn a much-needed win.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Cody Bellinger 1+ Hit” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/nyyd.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/new-york-yankees” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
The veteran has been hot lately, recording at least one hit in five of his last six games.
Bellinger draws a favorable matchup against right-hander Joe Boyle tonight. The former All-Star is batting a season-best .322 in July.
