Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays Betting Preview

The Tampa Bay Rays are set to host the Baltimore Orioles on June 10, 2024, at Tropicana Field in an American League East showdown. The Rays, with a 31-33 record, are struggling this season, contrasting sharply with the Orioles, who are flying high with a 41-22 record. This game marks the fourth in the series between these division rivals.

The pitching matchup features Tampa Bay's Ryan Pepiot, ranked as the 38th best starting pitcher in MLB, against Baltimore's Albert Suarez. Both right-handers will look to set the tone early. Pepiot's solid performance on the mound could be crucial for the Rays, who are underdogs with a moneyline of +135 and an implied win probability of 41%. Interestingly, the leading MLB projection system, THE BAT X, gives the Rays a slightly better chance with a 46% win probability, suggesting there might be value in betting on Tampa Bay.

Offensively, the Rays have been inconsistent. They rank 18th in team batting average but dead last in home runs this season, although they are 6th in stolen bases. Their best hitter over the last week, Randy Arozarena, has been on fire, posting a .357 batting average and a 1.071 OPS over his last five games. This spark might be what the Rays need to overcome their offensive woes.

On the other side, the Orioles boast the 8th best team batting average and lead MLB in home runs. Ramon Urias has been scorching hot, batting .444 with a 1.545 OPS in his last five games. Baltimore's power at the plate is a significant advantage, particularly against a Rays team that has struggled to keep pace offensively.

The game total is set at 7.5 runs, reflecting a potentially low-scoring affair. The Rays are projected to score 3.68 runs, while the Orioles are expected to put up 4.23 runs. With Baltimore favored at -155 and an implied win probability of 59%, the projections still suggest a closer game than the betting market indicates.
