Rays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 6, Orioles 3

Money line

The RAYS (-125) have come up empty in Charm City so far in this series, but the Orioles are sure to struggle with Wells on the bump. He has had his issues against Tampa Bay this season.

Tampa Bay has lost the first 2 in this series but remains 11-4 across its last 15 inside the AL East.

Run line/Against the spread

The RAYS -1.5 (+133) are worth a look on the run line despite the fact they have won just 3 of the last 9 against the Orioles. Two of the last 3 wins for Tampa Bay against Baltimore are just by 1 run, too, so tread lightly.

Over/Under

The OVER 7.5 (-130) is the play in Game 3 of the series.

The Over has hit in 5 of the last 6 games against AL East teams for the Rays while going 6-2 in their last 8 against a right-handed starting pitcher.

The Over has cashed at a 6-2-1 clip across the Orioles’ last 9 games while going 12-4-1 in their last 17 vs. AL East teams.

Rays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 4, Orioles 3

Money line

LEAN RAYS (-190) – go easy because of the significant juice.

It’s not just the Tampa Bay Ray’s best pitcher that is taking the mound tonight against the Baltimore Orioles, McClanahan has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season.

Baltimore also posts the worst record in the AL East after a win, taking the following game less than 50% of the time. And the Rays are 4-1 in their last 5 when they allow 5 or more runs in their previous game.

Run line/Against the spread

The Baltimore Orioles have been on a tear this season ATS. As an underdog in Camden Yards, they cover 75% of the time. And against the dominant AL East they cover in 63% of their games.

The market has come back on the Orioles from plus-money, if you think they have chance tonight, makes this bet a strong option. For those picking the Rays you should AVOID.

Over/Under.

LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-107).

McClanahan has not given up more than 2 ER since April 30, and opponents are batting .141 in his past 3 starts. If you ignore his All-Star Game appearance McClanahan is tough to score against.

Also, Tampa Bay has hit the Under in 5 of the past 6 road games when facing a right-handed starter.

The flip side is true for Baltimore, in home games against a lefty starter, the Over has only hit once in their last 5 tries.

Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Tampa Bay Rays (35-28) limp into Oriole Park at Camden Yards Friday to start a 3-game series with the Baltimore Orioles (28-37). First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rays vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Tampa is 4-6 straight up (SU) in the last 10 games with 2 straight road series losses with the latest being a 3-game sweep at the New York Yankees.

Baltimore is 5-5 SU in the last 10 and has split 2 consecutive 4-game road series heading into Friday vs. the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays.

The Rays lead the season series with the Orioles 4-2 and have a plus-13 run differential in those meetings.

Rays at Orioles projected starters

RHP Shane Baz vs. RHP Dean Kremer

Baz lost his season debut Saturday at the Minnesota Twins 6-5, lasting just 2 1/3 innings, giving up 5 ER, 3 H (1 HR), 3 BB and 2 K.

  • This is Baz’s 5th career start and 1st against the Orioles.

Kremer (1-1, 3.86 ERA) won his 2nd outing of the year Sunday in Kansas City with 5 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 4 H, 2 BB and 2 K vs. the Royals.

  • Lost his 1st outing 3-2 at home vs. the Cleveland Guardians June 5, with 3 ER, 5 H (1 HR), 1 BB and 3 K  in 4 1/3 IP.
  • 2021 vs. the Rays: One start, a 10-1 home loss May 20 with 3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 2 HR, 4 BB and 3 K.

Rays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Rays 4

Money line

PASS. 

The Rays (-160) are 28-7 SU vs. the Orioles over the last 3 seasons and this could be a buy-low spot for Tampa because it was just swept by the Yankees and Baz was chased early in his 1st start back from the injury list.

But, there’s no shame in losing to the Yankees the way the Bronx Bombers are playing and Baz’s stuff looked good vs. the Twins, he just lost the strike zone against a quality Minnesota lineup.

Also, Kremer’s basic and advanced pitching numbers vs. the Rays are brutal. Kremer has a .351/.456/.588 expected batting average, wOBA and slugging percentage slash line with a 5.0 K% and 95.6 mph exit velocity in 20 plate appearances vs. current Tampa hitters (per Statcast).

Run line/Against the spread

BET 0.75 units on the ORIOLES +1.5 (-130) since only 2 of the 6 Rays-Orioles meetings have been decided by 1 run.

However, the Rays could be hungover from playing the Yankees and this is a much more profitable spot for the Orioles. Tampa is just 1-1 SU and RL as -150 road favorites or greater and that 1 loss was against Baltimore May 22.

The Orioles are 14-7 RL at home vs. right-handed starters with a plus-26.1% return on investment.

The ORIOLES +1.5 (-130) is my favorite wager in this game.

Over/Under

LEAN to the OVER 8.5 (-120).

The weather forecast is predicting hitter-friendly conditions of temperatures in the low-90s and 15 mph winds blowing out to right-center field. Also, both starters are working back from injuries, the Rays are 9-6-2 O/U as road favorites and the Orioles are 14-12-1 O/U as home underdogs.

It’s only a LEAN to the OVER 8.5 (-120) since I prefer Baltimore’s RL and both bullpens are actually very impressive. Tampa’s bullpen-prowess is somewhat obvious but Baltimore’s bullpen is 3rd in WAR, per FanGraphs.

Analyzing Saturday’s Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Baltimore Orioles (16-24) host the Tampa Bay Rays (23-16) Saturday at Camden Yards for the second game of their 3-game series. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rays vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Baltimore beat Tampa in the series opener Friday 8-6 with an extra-inning, walk-off, 2-run home run by 2B Rougned Odor in the bottom of the 13th.

The Orioles have won back-to-back games, both with walk-off homers, but are just 3-7 in their last 10 games. The Rays are 5-5 in their last 10 and have won their last two series.

Rays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 5, Orioles 2

Money line

BET RAYS (-135).

Springs has nasty stuff and has been one of the best left-handers in the AL thus far. According to Statcast, Springs grades 90th percentile or better in chase rate (99%), expected ERA (95%), expected wOBA (95%) and barrel rate (90%).

Also, Baltimore’s lineup ranks 25th in wRC+ (83), 26th in wOBA (.280) and 27th in BB/K rate (0.28), per FanGraphs.

Bradish grades in the 38th percentile in chase rate, 37th percentile in hard-hit rate, 21st percentile in barrel rate and 8th percentile in exit velocity.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Rays  -1.5 (+120) don’t offer a big enough payout considering they are just 5-5 RL as road favorites, while the Orioles are 13-5 RL as home underdogs.

Over/Under

PASS with a “lean” to the Under 8.5 (-125) because Baltimore’s lineup should struggle vs. Springs and the Under is 5-2-1 in the last 8 head-to-head meetings.

However, the Over has cashed in 8 of their last 10 meetings in Baltimore, the Rays are 3-0-1 O/U in their last 4 as road favorites and the Orioles are 5-1 O/U in their last 6 games as home underdogs.

Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Tampa Bay Rays (23-15) head to Oriole Park at Camden Yards to start a 3-game set with the Baltimore Orioles (15-24) at 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rays vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Tampa won its second straight series by taking the rubber match of a 3-game set at the Detroit Tigers Wednesday 6-1. The Rays are 5-5 overall in their last 10 games.

Baltimore snapped a 6-game losing streak and prevented a 4-game sweep by the New York Yankees with a 9-6 win Thursday.

Season series: Tampa swept Baltimore April 8-10 and the Rays had a plus-11 run differential in those 3 meetings.

Rays at Orioles projected starters

LHP Jalen Beeks vs. RHP Tyler Wells

Beeks makes his 1st start since 2019 and will most likely serve as an opener for Tampa’s bullpen day Friday.

  • He is 1-0 with a 1.72 ERA (15 2/3 IP, 3 ER), 9 H, 4 BB and 17 K in 9 games out of the bullpen.

Wells is 1-3 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 1.3 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 28 IP over 7 starts.

  • Last start: Loss, 5-1, at the Detroit Tigers Sunday with 4 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 1 HR, 0 BB and 2 K.
  • 2022 vs. the Rays: Loss, 8-0, April 10 at Tampa with 1 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 3 H, 1 HR, 2 BB and 2 K.

Rays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Rays 5

Money line

LEAN ORIOLES (+115) because Tampa’s bullpen has been subpar this year due to the absence of some elite arms, and there’s heavy reverse line movement (RLM) in Baltimore’s direction.

Baltimore’s bullpen has a better ERA, FIP, WAR and home runs allowed per 9-inning rate than the Tampa’s (per FanGraphs).

According to Pregame.com, more than 80% of the cash is on the Rays (-140) but Tampa’s ML has been lowered from a -150 opener.

This RLM is particularly interesting because the Rays’ lineup raked Wells in his 2022 debut, and the market is betting that’ll happen again. By dropping the price, the oddsmakers are essentially daring bettors for more Tampa action.

That said, the Rays are 27-5 overall vs. the Orioles over the past 3 seasons so I wouldn’t go heavier than a half-unit on the ORIOLES (+115).

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN ORIOLES +1.5 (-145) only because I don’t love this price, but Baltimore is 12-5 RL as home underdogs with a plus-1.5 RL margin, and the Rays -1.5 (+120) are 11-17 RL as favorites with a minus-1.1 RL margin.

Again, Tampa’s bullpen isn’t as solid this season as years prior (yet) so the ORIOLES +1.5 (-145) could sneak in the backdoor in the late innings.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-122) because the total has been steamed up by a sharp line movement despite the Under being 5-1-1 in the last 7 Rays-Orioles meetings, Baltimore being 0-5 O/U in Wells’ last 5 starts and Tampa is 0-7-2 O/U in its last 9 AL East games.

Also, the weather forecast is predicting temperatures in the mid-to-high-80s with a slight wind blowing out to right-centerfield. Hotter weather typically favors hitting that’s why Overs have been cashing at a higher rate since the start of the season.

The OVER 8.5 (-122) is my favorite play in the Rays-Orioles game Friday.
