Earliest Cash MLB 7*
(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Tampa Bay, 07/29/2021 1:10 PM, Score: 0 - 14
Total: 7.50 | -107.00 Over
Result: Win
7* OVER the total in Tampa Bay - I fully understand the low total (7.5 after opening up at an 8) but feel it will prove to be too low. This is still American League baseball. I know these teams have each trended under in recent games but the Yankees lineup is definitely much healthier now. In this game I look for the Yanks to take advantage of facing a pitcher who has been struggling at the MLB level. Luis Patino is winless in his 5 starts this season for the Rays and he has an 8.36 ERA in his last 3 starts. I know Gerrit Cole carries a well-deserved reputation as one of the best starters in baseball. However, he allowed 3 earned runs in his most recent start and it was the 3rd time in his last 5 starts that he has been held to 5 or less innings. In those 3 starts (2 on the road by the way) Cole allowed 13 runs (12 earned) in 13 and 1/3 innings. The Rays have some hitters with solid career numbers against him and I expect TB to do some damage at home in this one but I also look for the Yankees to pound Patino. 7* OVER the total in Tampa Bay
