This is an 8* SPECIAL on the RAYS on the RUNLINE.

Off yesterday's 2-0 defeat, we expect Tampa to bounce back here.

Note that the Rays are 7-2 in their last nine in trying to revenge a shutout home loss against an opponent.

We have two really good pitchers going here. I'll call them a "wash" though, which means other factors will decide the outcome of this contest.

Gerrit Cole is 4-1 with a 3.31 ERA for the Yanks, while Corey Kluber is 1-2 with a 4.42 ERA for the Rays.

Kluber faces his former team here. If this was being played in New York, I'd be leaning the other way likely.

But we don't trust Cole on the road as much as we do with him throwing at home. And the same can be said for Kluber, who benefits from friendly confines.

We're laying the price and taking the RAYS on the RUNLINE.

Good luck, NP
