On Monday night, the New York Yankees continued their summer fainting, going 0-4. I lost. The Tampa Bay Rays are the -280 favorite behind Gerrit Cole. The Yankees have gone 2-8 in his last 10 games, but he's finished as a championship favorite eight times in that span.
Nothing has gone particularly well for the Yankees since the All-Star break, but their biggest problem right now is their offense. The league's best line-up for the first half of the season, the Bombers have been ice-cold lately, shutting out consecutive games for the first time in six years.

Yankees Tuesday Night , with Nestor Cortez on the mound against Jeffrey Springs, still the -172 favorite at home.
It was an impressive season overall for Springs as he pitched a 2.56 ERA and 3.21 xFIP in 84.1 innings, but has struggled with form over the past two months. The 29-year-old has posted a 4.15 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP in his last 34.1 innings (seven starts). Yankee stadium problem.
Springs is also unlikely to pitch deep into the game, as he has only pitched four in six innings this season. their starter.
Nestor His Cortez, like Springs, has slowly come back to reality in recent months after getting off to a great start to the season. Cortez hasn't been bad — he's owned a 3.88 ERA and 4.24 xFIP over his last 11 games (58 innings) — but he looks like the pitcher who dominated the lineup early in the campaign. No.

in pitching matchups Hole-in-the-wall, Springs and Cortez are both above-average starters this season, with an average offense (Tampa Bay) going up against an ice-cold Yankees. So it's not too shocking to see Over/Under currently hanging at 7 runs.
And while it's tough to swallow, this total seems like a good opportunity to buy cheap the Yankees offense coming up at some point. The Yankees had many scoring chances Monday night, but they fell short. These opportunities don't last longer.
Cortez and Springs are effective starters, but both have low totals at Yankee Stadium with no room for error.
