PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Chris Archer (6-15, 4.26 ERA) vs. Yankees LH CC Sabathia (6-9, 4.18)

Tampa Bay is 4-10 in the last 14 meetings in New York but beware, CC Sabathia has the worst record against his opposing roster than any other slated starting pitcher this weekend, allowing 37 hits off of 100 at bats and a blistering 8 home runs combining to spell a .370 average.

Tampa has some hot bats right now with 1B-SS Brad Miller (12-for-33, three homers, nine RBIs) and 2B Forsythe (16-for-38, three homers) each have hit safely in eight of their last nine games.

Archer, meanwhile, is 5-3 with a 2.13 ERA in 11 career starts against New York – 3-1 with a 2.18 ERA at Yankee Stadium.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
