The Yankees face a young pitcher who is starting his first game of the season, in Bradley who is off the IL, and they should be able to get to him and touch him up. Bradley is 1-6 straight up as an underdog of +100 or higher in the last three seasons. The NY Yankees are 20-8 against the money line against right-handed starters this season. The Yankees have started to roll offensively on a consistent basis over the last few weeks and they do very well against right handed pitchers. This is not a good combination for the Rays to face this strong Yankees lineup with Schmidt on the mound, who has been steady for the Yankees. Schmidt pitched a decent game versus the Rays earlier this season and the team won the game 5-3. The Rays have played a little better lately, stringing up some runs but they will be outplayed in this game. Schmidt is 16-4 against the money line versus an AL team with an on base percentage of .320 or worse over the last 2 seasons. The Yankees are 10-4 straight up after a loss so expect them to get the win today.

Best bet: take the Yankees on the moneyline (ML).
