Tampa Bay is 9-0 in their last 9 games and 6-2 in their last 8 game one’s of a series. The under is 9-1-1 in Tampa Bay’s last 11 Monday games.

Pick
Tampa Bay comes into this game undefeated and has been very good pitching and hitting so far this year. Boston swept Detroit rather easily in their last series and they scored 24 runs in the three games. I think we are going to see a higher scoring game here and I like the over, especially with how Fleming looked in his first outing.
