Confident Lean Towards The Over On Tuesday

This is a decent lean on the over at MLB betting sites between the Yankees and Rays on Tuesday, despite them staying under to open the four game series on Monday.

Starting with the numbers between the two, these are two of the best at bat teams in the MLB this season. They both rank inside of the top 10 in total team batting average. On the Yankees side of things, they are the number one team in terms of homeruns hit with 168 and third in total runs at 543.

Tampa Bay isn’t far behind as they are 10th in total runs this season with 488 and 15th in home runs with 115.

They’ve also each gone over 8+ runs more often than not in their past 10 games, having each done so in six of those games since the All Star break.

As for the pitchers on Tuesday Night, the Yankees will have Max Fried on the mound. In his 11 games that he started this season, six of them have gone for 8+ runs, including each of his last three starts. Joe Boyle is getting the nod for the Rays on Tuesday. In his only start this season, the final score was 8-3 in a Rays win.
