Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction

The Baltimore Orioles and the cheap price has to be one of the better plays on Saturday’s MLB card. Not only are the Orioles the better team that’s playing the better ball, but they have Corbin Burnes on the hill, one of the better arms in the business. The Tampa Bay Rays have been a mess offensively since trading away key bats, and now they’re throwing out Drew Rasmussen, who has pitched just 2 innings this season. Why is this line so cheap? Give me the Orioles anyway.
