Pick
Tampa Bay comes into this game with the best record in baseball, but they have lost four of their last five games. New York is playing very well right now and their offense is starting to come to life. The Yankees are starting Clarke Schmidt, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Rays are starting Zach Eflin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Eflin has put together a very solid start to this season and I like him and the Rays to get the win here.
