Tampa Bay Rays: Strong Start to the Season

Junior Caminero leads the team with 5 home runs and 13 runs scored. Kameron Misner has also been effective, boasting a .391 batting average. His 10 RBIs and 3 home runs add depth to the lineup.

Judge has hit 7 home runs and driven in 22 runs, both ranking first in the league. Jazz Chisholm Jr. adds to the Yankees’ power with 6 home runs. Despite a lower batting average of .160, he remains a key player. Chisholm Jr. is appealing a one-game suspension but is eligible to play during the process. Ben Rice is another strong hitter for the Yankees. He has a .297 batting average with 5 home runs. Rice’s performance helps the Yankees maintain a .256 team batting average, placing them 6th in the league.

The Yankees MoneyLine pick at 119 looks favorable due to their strong recent form and overall record of 13-7. Aaron Judge is a key player, leading the league in home runs and RBIs. The Yankees have shown solid performance both at home and on the road, which adds confidence to this pick.

Choosing the Under 9.0 (-107) is supported by the strong pitching from both teams. Shane Baz, with an ERA of 1.42, has been effective in limiting runs. Recent games between these teams have been low-scoring, which aligns with the Under prediction.
