Free Betting Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -155
The Tampa Bay Rays have been impressive through the 1st week of the MLB season, and I think they will continue their hot streak with their top pitcher on the mound. Blake Snell has slowly developed into one of the top pitchers in the MLB, and I think he shows that in this one against a young Chicago White Sox ballclub. The Tampa Bay Rays aren’t loaded with amazing talent in their batting lineup, but the Chicago bullpen isn’t very trusted. Tampa Bay wins, 5-1.
