New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays — Апр 11, 2026 | Прогноз ИИ и статистика

Expect a crisp, low-scoring game dominated by the starters for the first two thirds of the night. Max Fried’s current feel for his curveball and slider makes him an especially bad matchup for a Rays lineup that leans on contact left-handers like Chandler Simpson and Jonathan Aranda; he should cruise through the order twice with minimal traffic. Drew Rasmussen has the weapons to match zeros early, but the Yankee right-handed thump—Judge, Stanton and Goldschmidt—carries better platoon leverage and projects to scratch out an early run on a third-inning Judge homer. The turning point comes in the sixth, when Ben Rice’s disciplined left-handed bat forces Rasmussen into the stretch and plates a second run. Tampa Bay answers in the fifth on consecutive singles by Diaz and Aranda, but once Fried exits after seven with a modest pitch count, New York’s bullpen order of Tim Hill (for the lefties), Fernando Cruz and David Bednar aligns more cleanly than the Rays’ late-inning options. Kevin Cash’s relief corps is a concern; Griffin Jax and Ian Seymour have been unreliable, and a thin bridge to Bryan Baker invites trouble. The Yankees capitalize in the eighth when Stanton’s sac-fly pushes the lead to 3-2, and they tack on insurance in the ninth against Jax on Cody Bellinger’s opposite-field double. With Fried neutralizing Tampa Bay’s running game and Bednar locking down the ninth, New York levels the series behind a 4-2 victory, reaffirming their first-place standing while the Rays remain searching for consistent bullpen answers.
