The Oakland Athletics  will visit the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of their series in the American League West division versus East matchup from Tropicana Field on Tuesday night. The weather is expected to be very humid with no chance of rain.

The Athletics are coming off of a 11 run win against the Rays in their last game. Seth Brown and Elvis Andrus both hit three-run homers. The series is at 1-0.

Chris Flexen got the start for the A's in this one. He has a 6.23 ERA, with 3 strikes and a 1.85 whip. Paul Blackburn allowed three hits in five scoreless innings before coming out of the game.

Oakland right-hander, Adam Oller will be the starter for this one. He'll end up stepping in as Oakland's fifth starter after Sean Manaea was dealt away to the Padres. This will be his MLB debut.

The Rays are coming off of a 11 run loss against the Athletics in their last game. The series is at 1-0.

Michael Kopech got the start for the Rays in this one. He has a 2.25 ERA, with 3 strikes and a 1 whip. Rays starter Luis Patiño left in the first inning with a strained left oblique. He will undergo an MRI exam. Chris Mazza replaced Patiño with two outs and an 0-2 count.

Rays left-hander, Ryan Yarbrough will be the starter for this one. Last season he had a 4.3 ERA. He had 406 strikeouts and a 1.17 whip.

The Athletics are 3-9 in their last 12 games as a road underdog and are 2-6 in their last 8 vs. a team with a winning record. The Athletics are also 1-4 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series.

The Rays are 6-0 in their last 6 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game and are 6-1 in their last 7 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. The Rays are 6-2 in their last 8 games following a loss and are 6-2 in their last 8 Tuesday games. I like for the Rays to bounce back and get a much needed win after getting smoked the previous day.
