The Yankees are coming off a late-inning loss to the Rays yesterday. New York is a well-rounded team that should be able to bounce back at home.

Aaron Judge has been on an absolute tear this season. He is batting .432 with 11 home runs. We are witnessing greatness and I expect him to shine again on Sunday.

Will Warren has five or more strikeouts in four of his last six games. The Rays are in the top ten for teams who strikeout the most. Warren should secure five or six strikeouts today to complete our same game parlay.
