Rays vs. Yankees NRFI/YRFI Prediction 7/19/24
There is a lot of value on the under here given the park and pitching matchup have influenced this one to the other side. Cole had a rocky start when coming back but has been more dialed in lately. Tampa doesn’t have a great track record against Cole and lack power to tee off on his home run struggles. For Eflin, the concern here is left-handed hitters. If he can get around Soto and Rice, his chances of a clean inning are promising.
