Top 3 Yankees vs Rays Parlay Picks
1. Moneyline Pick: Yankees (-115)
The Rays are playing their home games at George M. Steinbrenner Field, the longtime spring training home of the Bronx Bombers, so the Yankees hitters should feel right at home after scoring at least six runs on the road for just the third time this season.

2. Aaron Judge to Hit A Home Run (+200)
Reigning American League Most Valuable Player Aaron Judge has only one home run in his last 12 games. He has 10 home runs in the previous three seasons when facing Tampa Bay. He will be a popular choice in the MLB home run props.
Bet on Aaron Judge to Hit A Home Run (+200)
3. Drew Rasmussen Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-102)
The Yankees only struck out five times in the series opener. It could be a different deal going up against Drew Rasmussen when it comes to the MLB expert picks.

Rasmussen had seven strikeouts in five innings in his last outing. Tampa Bay has been playing it safe with the often-injured Rasmussen as he hasn’t gone more than five innings this season.
Rasmussen at -102 to go over 5.5 strikeouts could be one of the best MLB parlay picks today to consider against the Yankees.
