Tampa Bay Rays vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

Hughes is off to a decent MLB career as he has a 3.33 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 24.1 innings with 21 strikeouts. The problem is Hughes pitches for the Rockies, a team you shouldn’t make a habit of backing. The Rays continue to pile up the wins, and Peralta should be thrilled to give a strong first impression with his new team. If anything, Peralta has a new lease on life after getting away from the Mets and going to a contender. I’ll lay the reasonable price with the Rays on Tuesday night.
