Rays vs Brewers Prediction 

Milwaukee comes into this matchup after sweeping the White Sox over the weekend, but they needed a big comeback on Sunday to get the win. Tampa Bay scored plenty of runs against the Cardinals, but their pitching staff allowed 22 runs in the series. I do think Martinez is the slightly better pitcher in this one, but Milwaukee’s at home and their offense has started very strong. Take the Brewers to get the win here at a reasonable price.
