Free Betting Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -170
The Tampa Bay Rays have kept themselves in the AL playoff race as they have won 7 of their last 10 games, and they should be able to continue their success against their cross-state rivals who sit in last place of the NL. The Tampa Bay Rays scratched their young starter Chirinos from his 8/3 start, and he will get the ball in this one which should benefit the Rays as he is having an amazing season. The Marlins will be throwing one of their best pitchers in Caleb Smith, but the problem is the Marlins don’t have much talent in their batting order to compete against a solid lineup like the Rays. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Rays win 5-4.
