Rays Leaned on Pitching

The Rays leaned on pitching on Tuesday, and they were able to secure the 3-2 victory. Jose Siri had a strong game, hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. Jeffrey Springs was on the mound, and he went five innings and ended up giving only one hit. The Rays are averaging 3.84 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.3 runs per game. The offense is ranked 28th, while the defense is ranked 14th. Brandon Lowe has hit 16 home runs and driven in 48 RBIs. The Rays will meet the Padres after this series.

Why the Rays Will Beat the Mariners

• The Mariners have lost each of their last three-day games against AL East opponents.
• The Rays have won five of their last six-day games against American League opponents that held a winning record.
• The Mariners have failed to cover the run line in seven of their last eight games.
• The Rays have covered the run line in four of their last five road games against American League opponents that held a winning record.

Mariners Offense Continues to be Awful 

The Mariners' offense has let them down all season, and on Tuesday it was the same story. The Mariners scored only two runs, and they ended up losing by a run. Logan Gilbert did have a strong start, going six innings, giving up four hits and zero runs. He had 10 strikeouts. The Mariners are averaging 3.95 runs, while their pitching is giving up 3.8 runs per game.

The offense is ranked 26th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 1st in the league. Cal Raleigh has hit 27 home runs and driven in 79 RBIs. Getting the start for the Mariners will be Luis Castillo, who sits with a 10-12 record and an ERA of 3.66. Far too often, he hasn’t gotten run support. In his last start against the San Francisco Giants, he went six innings giving up six hits and five runs. 

Tampa Bay Rays vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

The Rays are going to find success here. Luis Castillo hasn’t gotten a ton of run support this season, and it’s going to be much of the same here. Castillo in his last start gave up six hits and five runs, and it’s going to be no different here. The Rays' offense will chase Castillo early from this game, and it’s going to be Tampa Bay that is going to get the job done. Back the Rays on the money line.
