Tampa Bay Rays vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m on the Diamondbacks here. I think the Rays have a slight edge in starting pitching with Rasmussen’s form this season and the fact that Burnes has not lived up to the price tag that Arizona had to pay for him, but Burnes has solid numbers against the Rays and I haven’t forgotten about Arizona’s reputation against right-handed pitching this season. I think the Diamondbacks get their bounce back here and get the win to earn the series win. Give me Arizona.
