Free Betting Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -176
The Tampa Bay Rays have been playing solid baseball as of recent as they have won 7 of their last 10 games, but they only sit half a game up in the race for the 2nd Wild Card spot, so this game is essential. The Rays struggled to hit the ball in their first two games against the Tigers as they only scored 1 run in 22 innings, but Marco Gonzales brings a 4.26 ERA into this game and the bullpen has been even worse. Brendan McKay has been up and down this season as a starter for the Rays, but they have an amazing bullpen which means that the first sign of struggles for McKay will warrant a pitching change. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Rays win 5-3.
