The Yankees are 8-2 in the last ten meetings.  They are the -108 favorite with Tampa Bay +100.  The total was coming in at 8.5.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Masahiro Tanaka (5-5, 3.74 ERA) vs. Rays LH Brendan McKay (1-0, 0.00)

Tanaka did not enjoy his London experience as the 30-year-old Japanese star allowed six runs in just two-thirds of an inning in a no-decision against Boston. Tanaka has pitched significantly better versus Tampa Bay this season, highlighting a 2-0 mark in three outings on June 17 by tossing a career-best two-hitter with 10 strikeouts for his fourth major league shutout. Tanaka boasts a 4-2 record with a 1.29 ERA in seven starts against the Rays since July 28, 2017 -- including a three-hit shutout on July 24, 2018.

New York is 12-5 in Tanaka's last 17 starts vs. TB.

McKay made quite the major league debut on Saturday as the 23-year-old retired the first 16 batters he faced before exiting after allowing one hit over six shutout innings in a 5-2 victory over Texas. Selected fourth overall in the 2017 draft, McKay posted a 6-0 mark with a 1.22 ERA and 0.80 WHIP in 13 appearances (66 2/3 innings) split between Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham. McKay became the fourth player since 1913 to begin his career with a start as a pitcher and a non-pitcher within his first two games after going 0-for-4 versus Baltimore on Monday.
