Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread
Civale has been good this season. His stats took a little bit of a tumble when he joined the Rays, but his overall stats are good. This season, between the Guardians and Rays, Civale has a 2.96 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and opponents are batting just .227 off him. The Orioles are a very tough matchup, but Civale should be up for the challenge.
Civale is a lot better on the road this season, as well. He has 2.03 ERA, and his walks are down. He does not strike as many people out, and opponents bat just a few points higher, but he is much better at limiting the runs when pitching on the road. If he can keep that up, the Orioles are going to have a rough time with him.
Why The Orioles Could Cover The Spread
Kyle Bradish is having a fantastic season for the Orioles. He has a 3.03 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and he is 11-6. At Camden Yards this season, Bradish has been outstanding. He has a 2.26 ERA, and opponents are batting just .208 off him at home. Bradish is very good at Camden Yards, and the Orioles have found ways to beat the Rays all season. If Bradish can continue to pitch well at home, the Orioles will keep winning against the Rays.
Final Rays-Orioles Prediction & Pick
This should be a fun series. Just two games seperate these two teams at the top of the division. The pitching matchup is a fun one, as well. I think the Orioles have the best chance at winning. However, the Rays are the underdog. I am going to take the Rays to cover the spread.
Final Rays-Orioles Prediction & Pick: +1.5 (-188), Under 8 (-105)
