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.
