New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays: Picks & Predictions 6/20/2022

Game Preview

 

Right now the New York Yankees are holding an 11-game lead in the American League East division after sweeping the Rays and taking 2 of 3 from the Toronto Blue Jays last week.

 

Today, the Tampa Bay Rays will try to close the gap a bit as they are trailing the Yankees by 13 games, though they have lost 7 out of their last 9, which tells us that they aren’t currently in their best form.

 

There is one thing that the Rays got going for them, they have some hitters with excellent track records against Cole, however that wasn’t an issue for the Yankees last week.

 

The New York Yankees will send out Gerrit Cole for his second straight start opening a series against the Tampa Bay Rays. This is Cole’s 14th start of the season and he is holding a 6-1 record with a 3.33 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP over 73 innings pitched.

 

In his last start against the Rays, Cole picked up his 6th win of the season after striking out 7 throughout 6 scoreless innings while allowing 5 hits and only 1 walk. It’s safe to say that if Cole performs today like he did last week, the Rays will have a really hard time hitting against him.

 

Shane McClanahan is making his 14th start this season and his 2nd straight start against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old lefty carries a 7-3 record with a 1.84 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP over 78.1 innings pitched.

 

He was the victim of extraordinarily bad defense last week as he picked up the loss even though he only allowed 1 run on 3 hits thanks to 3 unearned runs in the 5th. Earlier in the year, he allowed the Yankees to score just 1 run despite allowing 7 hits.
