3 Minute ReadYankees vs. Rays Prediction: Targeting Cam Schittler, Freddy Peralta in Monday's Top Props for ALDS Game 2
Tampa Bay opened the series with a 1-0 victory Saturday as Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and struck out 10 across eight scoreless frames. Jonathan Aranda's solo home run provided the only offense the Rays needed, while the Yankees finished with just one hit after scoring 18 runs across their two Wild Card wins over Boston.
New York now turns to Cam Schlittler in Game 2 against Freddy Peralta, with the Yankees trying to avoid falling into a 2-0 series hole before returning home. Monday's three selections focus entirely on the pitching and scoring environment, with strikeout markets for both starters alongside the game total.
