Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees
Saturday, July 20, 2024 – 01:05 PM ET at Yankee Stadium
Rays Pitching Profile
Righty Taj Bradley (4-4, 2.90 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) has made an impressive turnaround since an underwhelming rookie season in 2023.
This year his delivery has been so much cleaner. Over his last four starts, he has allowed just two earned runs. We should also note the Rays have won five of the last six games in which Bradley has started.
Yankees Pitching Profile
Veteran lefty Nestor Cortes (4-8, 3.67 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) was torched by these same Tampa Bay Rays in his last start on Thursday of last week. He surrendered five runs on seven hits over just 4.1 innings of work in what resulted in a 5-4 victory by the Rays.
The Yankees have wound up on the losing end in six of his last seven starts.
The Pick
The Yankees lost eight of their last twelve games before the All-Star break. Also, the man they have starting on Saturday afternoon, Nestor Cortes, has not been pitching very well recently. On the other hand, Taj Bradley fared quite well against the Yankees when he made his first start of the season on May 10th. Back then, he held the Bombers to just one run over six full innings.
Add to that he’s been sharp as a tack recently and we don’t see any reason not to grab the plus money on this live road dog.
Predicted Score: Rays 5 – Yankees 4
