Yankees vs. Rays: Game 4 Predictions, Odds and Picks - July 22, MLB 2024
Disaster struck again in the Bronx as the New York Yankees dropped Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. The Yanks continue to slump after the All-Star break, and their pitching woes haven't gotten any better. Marcus Stroman suffered the loss after giving up two earned runs in five-plus innings.
Aaron Judge was the bright spot on the offensive end after smashing a three-run home run. Despite their efforts, they lost by a 6-4 final score. Left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon will get on the mound in the series finale on Monday. Rodon has a 9-7 record with a 4.63 ERA and has not been great in his last few starts for his team.
Tampa Bay took on the Yanks with ease, despite the odds being against them. Shane Baz had a decent outing on the mound. The Rays are 10 games behind the Baltimore Orioles, who hold the top spot in the AL East.
Zack Littell will take the nod in Game 4 against the Yanks, and he has a 3-6 record with a 4.26 ERA. The Rays did well to support their pitching lineup in the last two games and are expected to do the same.

Yankees vs. Rays Prediction
The Rays have upset their AL East rival on several occasions this season. The Yanks have dropped drastically from the pitching end, while their offense has been vulnerable in the past month.
Bullpen issues have also been persistent for the Bronx Bombers. Tampa Bay took advantage of the team's loopholes and scored when necessary. Rodon started this season with a bang but failed to maintain consistency.
The Yanks need to pick up the pace, especially now that they are two games behind the Orioles at the top. The AL East has been a hard division with tough opponents. However, the Bronx Bombers are predicted to win and tie this season.
Prediction: New York Yankees 1.5 (-175)
