Play: N.Y. Yankees +123 (Nova vs. action)
Time: 7:10 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Tampa Bay scored 11 on Friday, but that is an anomaly for this team. It was ranked second-to-last in runs scored in the American League before that offensive onslaught. Even with those 11 runs the Rays have averaged just 2.86 runs per game in their last 10 contests. Before suffering Friday's loss New York had reeled off five straight wins. It also could have Carlos Beltran back tonight after he missed last night's game following a crash in foul territory during Thursday's game. Yankees starter Ivan Nova is coming off of a nice performance against Boston in which he allowed just two runs over 7.1 IP. For his career Nova is 6-4 with a 2.86 ERA against Tampa Bay. Current Rays are hitting just .223 against him. And Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer allowed seven runs on 12 hits in five innings in his last start Monday against Baltimore.
Record: 50-30-3 (62.5%)
