Sun May 04 17:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Rays-Yankees Rubber Match Favors Over, Says Expert

**New York, NY** – Despite three consecutive under-performing games between the Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees, sports analyst Eric Rosales is predicting a high-scoring affair in Sunday’s rubber match. Rosales’ MLB pick for May 4th is the Over 9 runs (+100 odds at Caesars).

The low-scoring trend is expected to break due to a favorable pitching matchup. The Rays will send Taj Bradley (2-2, 4.58 ERA) to the mound, while the Yankees counter with Will Warren (1-1, 5.63 ERA). Warren’s recent struggles, including a poor outing against the Orioles, and the Yankees’ potent offense (averaging 5.35 runs per game, second-best in MLB) contribute to Rosales’ prediction. Furthermore, the Yankees previously tagged Bradley for nine hits and six earned runs in a prior game this season.

Rosales also highlights two same-game parlay (SGP) options: Aaron Judge over 1.5 total bases and Paul Goldschmidt over 1.5 total bases. Judge is on a 13-game hitting streak, consistently accumulating multiple total bases, and Goldschmidt has been similarly productive recently.

While the Rays are underdogs, their recent 5-1 record in their last six games as moneyline underdogs further supports the high-scoring prediction. Rosales emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making and checking local laws before engaging in online sports betting.
