"this was the moment we knew the 2022 Yankees were actually different" - lucash
Pitching today are Jalen Beeks for the Rays and Luis Severino for the Yankees.
Jalen Beeks is making just his second start of the season today. He's been fantastic out of the bullpen this year, and the Rays are hoping he continues that success at the front end of the game. In his 26 innings pitched, he's allowed just four runs and struck out 32.
Severino has been incredible this season, but even with a 2.70 ERA, he's not the best starter in New York's rotation. He has a record of 4-1 and is averaging over a strikeout an inning.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees Best Picks
This series has shown how scrappy the Yankees can be. They won yesterday's game with just three and banked only five hits in the game before that. That separates this team from previous years. When the bats are working, this team's pitching can be relied on to pick up the W.
Luis Severino Under 4.5 Hits Allowed (-142)
"Luis Severino Bumpday" - Flipp
Neither offense has been particularly electric in this series, and the NRFI is 1-1 in the previous two games. Given the lack of scoring exhibited thus far, there is no reason for bettors to think that is going to change.
No Runs in the First Inning (-122)
Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees Prediction
The Rays cannot get their bats going, and the Yankees pitching is absolutely unbeatable right now. With Luis Severino on the mound, the Rays will be even more hard-pressed to get their offense going. Bettors should look for the Yankees to sneak out another win.
New York -1.5 (-118) & Under 7.5 (-105)
