Rays Offense Looks to Bounce Back

The Rays offense failed to score any runs on Friday and they are going to need to find a way to get the offense going here. Shane Baz went six innings giving up two hits and one run but it didn’t matter because the offense was so bad. The Rays are averaging 3.89 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.33 runs per game. The offense is ranked 28th in the league while the pitching is ranked 14th. Jose Siri has hit 17 home runs and driven in 43 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Rays will be Ryan Pepoit who sits with Ryan Pepiot who sits with a 7-6 record and an ERA of 3.76. In his last start against the San Diego Padres, he went three innings giving up four hits and three runs. 

Orioles Leaned on Pitching 

The Orioles leaned on the pitching on Friday and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Dean Kremer was dominant going six innings giving up two hits and zero runs. He had seven strikeouts. The Orioles are averaging 5.01 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.31 runs per game. The offense is ranked 3rd in the league while the pitching is ranked 13th. Anthony Santander has hit 39 home runs and driven in 91 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Orioles will be Zach Eflin who sits with a 10-7 record and an ERA of 3.60. In his last start against the Colorado Rockies, he went seven innings giving up four hits and one run. 

Why the Orioles Will Beat the Rays

  • The Orioles have won each of their last five-day games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Rays have lost five of their last six games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards against AL East opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Orioles have covered the run line in each of their last six games as favorites against the Rays.
  • The Rays have failed to cover the run line in each of their last five games against AL East opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Rays have trailed after 5 innings in each of their last four-day games against American League opponents.

Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles Prediction

Runs were hard to come by on Friday and it’s going to be much of the same here. The Rays are averaging only 3.89 runs per game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going again here against Eflin. Pepiot is also going to be really good for the Rays and that will be the difference here as this game is going to end up being lower scoring and the under is going to cash.
