Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

Suarez was good in his last start, and he’s going to lockdown against a Rays offense that hasn’t been exactly elite. The Rays are averaging 3.89 runs per game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Rays offense is going to really struggle here and that is going to be the difference as the Orioles are going to get the job done. Back the Orioles on the run line.
