Going to take a shot with this one........
1 STAR: TAMPA BAY (+$210) OVER NY Yankees
(Victor Zambrano* vs. Mike Mussina)
Last season the Yankees were 14-5 against the Devil Rays, but I think Tampa is worth a shot here with Victor Zambrano on the mound. In Zambranos seven career starts against the Yankees, the Rays are 3-4 in those games and Zambrano has only allowed a little over 2.5 runs per game in those starts. He also has a two hitter to his credit against the Yankees. Zambranos big roblem last season was walks. He has done a pretty good job in the spring with his control, walking only three batters and striking out tweleve. I think the D-Rays are more excited to be playing in Japan than the Yankees are and this young team has something to prove this year, I'm willing to take a shot with them here at this price.
* Listed pitcher must start for action
