Analysis
I love the way the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays continue to play so well, as the two have both won four in a row. The Yankees have done a good job of holding off the Rays, sitting just 1.5 games in front. The Yankees just played a three-game set with these Texas Rangers, and couldn't complete the sweep after losing the series finale, 3-0. But longer term, the Pinstripes have won six of the last nine meetings. And since the Yankees are scoring 6.6 runs per game during a 14-2 win streak, hitting .276 and slugging .537 with 34 home runs leaving the yard, I think they'll open this series with a win.
