Yankees vs Rays Live Stream, MLB 2025: The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays square off at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 1:05 p.m. ET in a critical AL East clash. New York enters the game with standout form from Aaron Judge, who leads MLB with 32 RBIs and ranks second in home runs with 10.
He's riding a 12-game hitting streak, batting .513 over his last 10 games. Paul Goldschmidt (.361 AVG, 8 doubles, 3 HRs) and Anthony Volpe (.297 AVG last 10 games, 10 doubles on the season) round out a potent Yankees offense that averages 5.4 runs per game.

Clarke Schmidt will take the mound for New York, aiming to build on the team’s recent 3-0 shutout over Tampa Bay. The Rays counter with Zack Littell and hope to reverse their offensive slump. Jonathan Aranda (.298 AVG) and Junior Caminero (6 HRs) lead a struggling lineup averaging just 2.7 runs over the last 10 games. Tampa’s pitching has held steady with a 3.36 ERA, but scoring remains a concern.

The Yankees are 5-5 in their last 10 but boast a strong +2.57 run differential per game over that stretch, thanks to a 2.83 team ERA and 5.4 runs per game. Aaron Judge is playing at an MVP level, and the lineup is hitting its stride. Clarke Schmidt's solid recent performances give New York a firm edge at home.
The Rays, also 5-5 in their last 10, are averaging just 2.7 runs per game and have hit only six home runs over that span. While their pitching remains reliable, their bats have gone cold. A series loss could dent their early postseason positioning in a tight AL East.
