Why Bet The Rays:
โ The Tampa Bay Rays have done a great job at the plate lately. Excluding their Sunday afternoon clash against the Seattle Mariners on the road, the Rays have scored 39 runs over their previous six outings. During that span, the Rays have smacked eight home runs and 13 extra-base hits while slashing .276/336/.452.
โ The Los Angeles Angelsโ offense has slowed down a bit in the last six games. Theyโve scored 24 runs on a terrible .174/.252/.316 triple-slash. The Angels have slugged only three doubles in that stretch to go with eight home runs. Shohei Ohtani has recorded just four hits over his last eight outings, and the Angels desperately need more from the reigning American League MVP. Ohtani is sporting an underwhelming .234/.298/.378 slash line.
