After several bad games, the New York Yankees have finally picked up a victory on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Bronx Bombers have dropped several games that pushed the odds against them to win Game 2 of this series. However, they fought with the help of the bullpen and secured a narrow victory.
Game 2 was indeed a struggle as their offense just broke through to win with a 2-1 final score. Marcus Stroman pitched 4.1 innings and surrendered one earned run. Tim Hill won the game for the Yanks with three scoreless innings, while Trent Grishman drove in the necessary runs.
The Rays had a strong outing from Zach Eflin and they hope to secure the series with Shane Baz on the mound. Baz is a rookie with a 3-3 career record and a 4.08 ERA. The Rays have no option but to turn to their offense for support.

The Yanks will hand over the ball to Nestor Cortes Jr. to salvage this series. Cortes has been decent but failed to receive offensive support when needed the most. The southpaw will need to last for a minimum of five-plus innings since the bullpen will not be able to repeat the same success as Game 2.

Yankees vs. Rays Prediction
It seems like the Yanks are back on track after all the struggles they have been through. The huge advantage of this game is having a rookie opponent pitcher. The Yanks can finally open up with their offense and knock some runs against the Rays.
Cortes is a veteran when compared to Baz. The offense is the most important factor for the Yanks to win. The Rays will depend on their offense to support Baz. Top hitters like Juan Soto and Aaron Judge are expected to drive in the necessary runs to win Game 3. A victory is a must for the Bronx Bombers before they take on the Baltimore Orioles in their next series.
Prediction: New York Yankees -1.5 (-102)
