Monday’s Rangers vs Rays matchup should go the way of the Tampa Bay Rays, who send Ryan Pepiot to the mound for the first time in a Rays uniform. Pepiot had a promising season last year for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023 in limited action. With Pepiot coming over in the Tyler Glasnow trade, he has his first chance to impress against the reigning American League champions. We expect him to do just that against a Rangers team playing their first road game of the 2024 campaign.
