This is an 8* play on the YANKEES

The Yankees have really had the Rays number this year and that's why they are the ones out in front in the American League East. Yesterday's 10-5 victory gives the Yanks not only a 10-5 head to head advantage over the Rays in 2019, but also a six-game advantage in the division. New York has the best record in the entire American League right now and has been outstanding here at home where their record is 34-16. That includes a 16-3 mark as a favorite of -125 to -175. Domingo German starts Wednesday. The team has an 11-3 record when he pitches and he has a 2.10 ERA at home. He faced the Rays in Tampa back in May and got the 'W.' He's also 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA in his two starts since returning from a hip injury. Tampa's Chirnos got a lot of run support his last time out (Rays beat Baltimore 16-4), but that's unlikely to repeat itself tonight on ESPN. The Rays have lost Chirnos' last four starts vs. teams that have winning records. Play on the YANKEES
