Brewers vs Rays Betting Pick
This game will be played at Tropicana Field at 7:10 PM ET on Tuesday, June 28, 2022.
Why Bet The Rays:
✅ Brandon Woodruff will take the mound for the Brewers, and the 29-year-old right-hander hasn’t pitched since May 27 due to an ankle injury and Raynaud’s Syndrome which caused numbness in his fingers. Woodruff is having a rough season and carries an underwhelming 4.74 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into Tuesday’s battle with the Rays.
✅ The Rays haven’t announced who’ll get the starting call Tuesday and will probably opt for a bullpen day. Tampa Bay’s bullpen is one of the best in the majors and sits at 3.06 ERA and .254 BABIP for the season. It has registered a 3.55 ERA, .195 BABIP, and 9.3 K/9 in the last ten days and 33 innings of work.

✅ Wander Franco has just returned from a one-month absence caused by a quadriceps injury. His presence is a massive boost for the Rays on both sides of the ball. Franco is hitting .268/.303/.415 with four home runs and 19 RBIs across 195 plate appearances this season.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers aim for their third straight win. They trounced the Toronto Blue Jays 10-3 last Sunday to seal a three-game interleague series at home. The Brewers improved to 42-33 on the season, topping the NL Central one game above the St. Louis Cardinals.
Milwaukee has gone 8-5 in its last 13 games, tallying a 3.91 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and .231 batting average against. The Brewers’ offense has scored 65 runs in that span while slashing a solid .247/.343/.431 with 19 dingers and 21 doubles across 425 at-bats.
Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays shoot for their fourth consecutive victory. They just swept a three-game interleague series against Pittsburgh, outscoring the Pirates 14-10 across the set. The 40-32 Rays are tied with the Toronto Blue Jays for the third spot in the AL East, 12.5 games behind the New York Yankees and a game and a half behind the Boston Red Sox.
Tampa Bay has dropped seven of its previous 12 games in spite of a terrific 2.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and .189 opposing batting average. The Rays have slashed a disappointing .246/.305/.367 in the last 15 days of action.
