Yankees vs. Rays prediction: MLB best bets, picks for Wednesday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Cam Schlitter's homer-suppressing tendencies haven't transferred over to the big leagues. The Yankees' rookie has allowed six long balls in 29 ⅔ innings since his big league debut on July 9. Schlitter's 1.82 homers allowed per nine innings is the 19th-highest among MLB pitchers with at least 29 innings pitched in that span. When Schlitter takes the mound on Wednesday against the Rays in Tampa Bay, I'm targeting the red-hot Junior Caminero to get the best of the right-hander. Last time Schlitter faced the Rays on July 28, Caminero took him deep in his first-ever plate appearance against him, hitting a 397-foot bomb to left field. Caminero has been on a ridiculous power-hitting run since the calendar turned to August. Tampa Bay Rays' Junior Caminero celebrates after hitting a solo home run during the second inning of a baseball game against the San Francisco Giants, Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, in San Francisco. AP His eight home runs this month are tied with A's slugger Shea Langeliers for the most in Major League Baseball heading into Tuesday's play. Since the All-Star break, Caminero's .624 slugging percentage is the seventh-highest in the league. Caminero has also been a much different hitter on the Rays' home field, taking full advantage of the dimensions at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting He's hitting .323/.359/.620 at home compared to just .194/.240/.439 on the road this season. I like Caminero to homer on Wednesday, but bettors could play it a little safer by taking the young slugger to go Over 1.5 total bases. The play: Junior Caminero to hit a home run (+320, FanDuel) and to have more than 1.5 total bases (+110, Bet365) Why Trust New York Post Betting Dylan Svoboda is a versatile writer and analyst across many sports.

A bidding war for his services ensued between WWE, the UFC, and the NFL. The WWE Experiment Fails Steveson ultimately signed a unique and lucrative contract with WWE in 2021. Despite the immense hype, his tenure with the company never got off the ground. After several non-wrestling appearances on the main roster, he eventually made his in-ring debut for the NXT brand in July 2023. His one and only televised match, against Baron Corbin, was met with a negative reaction from the crowd and ended in a disappointing double count-out. He was quietly released from his WWE contract in 2024. After his release, he briefly signed with the NFL's Buffalo Bills, but that also proved to be a short-lived venture. Now, the Olympian is hoping that the third time is the charm. He will look to translate his world-class amateur wrestling skills into a successful career in the world of mixed martial arts.
