Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees, 10:15 am
Rays $2.35

I’d be on the Yankees if this was even money, but the $2.35 makes me like Tampa here.

You’re generally paying a premium betting on the Yankees, one which is only exacerbated by it being a game 7 with Gerrit Cole starting.

Tampa has actually been the better side throughout the course of the season and I think they’ve got every chance at pulling off the upset here.

Tyler Glasnow has had an excellent season at pitcher and I’d back him to turn around his relatively poor game 1 here.

Tampa’s hitters have also had a couple of good games in this series, notching 7 runs in game 2 and 8 runs in game 3.

Kevin Kiermaier and Michael Perez have provided some very valuable low order runs and seem to match up well with New York’s relievers.

If the offense shows up here, I like their chances at pulling off an upset.
