Tampa Bay Rays vs LA Dodgers Prediction

Shane Baz has pitched well enough this season to give the Rays a look, I'm just not interested in stepping in front of the Dodgers at home with the way they're swinging the bats. The Dodgers have just been finding ways to win more times than not, and these are games they should win as they hope to get the best overall record in baseball. I'll ride the hot bats of the Dodgers and the RL to shave down the juicy price.
