The Yankees host the Rays for the final game of their 3 game series. For the Yankees, Jordan Montgomery will take the mound posting a 4.44 era and a whip of 1.07. Montgomery is 2-1 this season with 20 strike outs. Montgomery is in the top 2% of the league in exit velicty averaging 82.9 mph. His era is expected to get better and drop closer to 3.51. The Yankees have a team batting average of .244 with a woba of .332.

For the Rays, Charlie Morton will take the mound posting a 5.40 era and a whip of 1.5. Morton is 1-1 this season with 17 strike outs. Morton is in the bottom 14% in exit velocity averaging 90.8, so I would expect slight regression on his era. The Rays have a team batting average of .249 and a woba of .331.

I like the Yankees moneyline here, they have a clear pitching advantage in this matchup with Montgomery on the mound and I don't think Morton will be able to contain the Yankees offense.
