Which Rays Offense Shows Up?

The big question for the Rays is which offense is going to show up in this game. On Satrday against the Houston Astros the Rays scored 16 runs but on Sunday the offense couldn’t even get a run across the plate. The Rays had a grand total of two runs and wasted some really solid pitching. Taj Bradley went seven innings giving up three hits and zero runs. He had ten strikeouts and looked quite impressive. 

The Rays are averaging 4.34 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.64 runs per game. The offense is ranked 14th while the pitching is ranked 7th. Junio Camireno has really hit well and he has hit 13 home runs and driven in 47 RBIs. Getting the start for the Rays will be Drew Rasmussen who sits with a 4-4 record and an ERA of 2.23. Over his last three starts he has gone 18 innings total and given up zero runs and nine hits total. 

Rangers Bats Need to Get Offense Going Early

The Rangers know they need to get their bats going early in this game, because if they allow Rasmussen to settle in, this is going ot be a long game. On Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Rangers scored eight runs and that was enough for the seven run victory. Josh. H Smith has hit a home run and driven in four RBIs. In that game, Jacob deGrom went six innings giving up four hits and one run. 

The Rangers are averaging 3.4 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.35 runs per game. The offense is ranked 26th overall and their lack of offense has been the biggest issue. Especially with how good the pitching has been, this could be a really good team if they could just get the offense going. Getting the start for the Rangers is going to be Tyler Mahle who sits with a 5-2 record and an ERA of 1.64. 

Texas Rangers vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction

If you like games that finish 1-0 or 2-1, make sure to tune in, because that’s exactly how this game is going to end up. Mahle has been dominant all season and he sits with an ERA of 1.64. Rasmussen has given up zero runs total over his last three starts and he’s also going to really dominant here. The Rangers bats have been awful all season, and it’s not going to magically get better here. Back the under to cash.
