The game here will definitely be a battle between a couple of really good teams and could be a playoff preview. However, the key thing that is going to take place here is the fact that the Rays are playing at home and at home the Rays have a slight advantage. Look for this game, though, to be back and forth and with the really good pitching for the teams to hit the under here and that will allow the teams to really impress the fans, but the Rays come out on top. Final Score Tampa Bay Rays win, but play the under 4-2.
