Rays vs Yankees MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
The weather won't be good for hitting, but the odds and matchup more than make up for it.
Rays starter Ian Seymour has had reverse splits in his career when it comes to power, allowing a high 1.99 HR/9.
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for lefty power, and Ben Rice has been one of the best sluggers in the league.
I have the true odds for the Yankees DH at around +450.
Pick: Ben Rice Home Run (+509, DraftKings)
