It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Rangers-Rays prediction, pick, and how to watch.</p><p>The Rays just completed the sweep of the Minnesota Twins, and now have won six straight games. That brings them to winners of seven of their last ten, and a 46-19 record on the season. Meanwhile, the Rangers had their five-game winning streak snapped yesterday in a 1-0 loss to the Cardinals. They have also won seven of their last ten games and sit at 40-21 on the season. This may be an ALCS preview this weekend as two of the best teams in the league clash.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Rangers-Rays <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rangers-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-142)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+118)</p><p>Over: 8 (-110)</p><p>Under: 8 (-110)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Rangers vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: BSSW/BSSUN</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 6:40 PM ET/ 3:40 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Yesterday was just the fourth time all season that the Rangers’ offense has been shut out. The Rangers hold the best run differential in the major leagues, but their pitching staff just took a major hit, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-pitchers-trade-jacob-degrom-tommy-john-surgery" rel="noopener">losing Jacob de Grom</a> for the year. Even with that, the Rangers cal rely on this quality offense. They are tops in the league in runs scored, batting average, and on-base percentage while ranking fourth in slugging. Leading the way with the hottest bat has been Marcus Semien. Semien failed to get a hit in the game yesterday, ending his hitting streak at 26 games. Still, he is batting .299 on the season with a .367 on-base percentage. In the last week, he has still been playing well as well. He has hit .333 over the last six games while driving in six runs.</p><p>Also swinging the bat well as of late in Jonah Heim. Heim, like most of the lineup, was hitless last night but is still hitting .333 this month with seven RBIs and a home run. Joining Heim with a great start to the month is Corey Seager. Seager is hitting .400 so far this month with a .444 on-base percentage. He has driven in six runs on the month, with a home run and four doubles.</p><p>On the hill today will be Andrew Heaney. Heaney has been solid this year, with a 4-3 record and 4.03 ERA. His last time out was not his best though. He only went three innings, giving up three runs, but also six hits and four walks in the game. Before that, he was on a streak of three straight games of going six or more innings while just giving up a run. He has had some issues with command this year, which has resulted in his pitch count getting high early, but if he can control that, he should be in for a solid outing.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Right behind the Rangers in terms of runs scored is the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays are second in the league in runs scored, and second in on-base percentage. They have a little bit more power in the lineup than the Rangers. They are tops in the league in slugging and lead the league in home runs. The power has come from all over the line up too. Five different players have over ten home runs, with three guys at nine home runs on the season. Randy Arozarena is leading the team, along with Yandy Diaz at 12 home runs each.</p><p>Arozarena is in a little bit of a slump as of late. He is hitting just .217 in June so far but does have a home run and three RBIs so far this month. Arozarena is struggling to make contact as of late. He has struck out nine times this month so far. Yandy Diaz was not in the lineup Thursday, and it is currently considered day-to-day. he has been hitting well for over a month now. Since the start of May, he is hitting .308 while driving in 18 runs in that time.</p><p>The Rays will send Tyler Glasnow to the mound today. He has made two starts so far this year. The first time out was 4.1 innings, with three runs allowed, and taking a no-decision. The next time out was 5.1 innings with just one run given up, but once again a no-decision.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This should be an amazing series to watch. The Rangers have a slightly better offense, while the Rays have slightly better pitching. Glasnow is still working himself into shape after missing the start of the season. That is not the best thing for a pitcher against this type of offense. It is highly doubtful that the Rangers’ offense misses two days in a row. They are getting runs here and should be the ones to back.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Rangers +1.5 (-142)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This game will continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> as we give out a Twins-Rays prediction and pick while letting you know how to watch, as well.</p><p>The Twins this series have not been swinging the bats well. They have just one total run scored in the two games. Minnesota is 7-60 in the series with no hitter having more than one hit. Royce Lewis has the team’s only RBI of the two games played while Carlos Correa and Michael A. Taylor have doubles. On the mound, Pablo Lopez recorded a quality start for Minnesota. The Twins’ bullpen has given up one run in three innings of work and struck out four. Minnesota has their work cut out for them on Thursday afternoon.</p><p>Tampa Bay is obviously pitching the ball extremely well. Jason Adam is the pitcher that gave up the lone run allowed. The Rays have a 0.72 WHIP in the two games played as they have allowed just seven hits and walked six. At the plate, Tampa Bay is not really hitting all that well, but it is enough to get the job done. The are batting .220 as a team this series with six extra base hits. Randy Arozarena, Luke Raley, Jose Siri, and Isaac Paredes have each hit a home run. Arozarena leads the team with three hits while Raley and Wander Franco each have two.</p><p>Bailey Ober will be the starting pitcher for the Twins, but the Rays have yet to name a starter.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Twins-Rays <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Twins-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Minnesota Twins: +1.5 (-205)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+168)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-118)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-104)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Twins vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: Bally Sports North, Bally Sports Sun</p><p>Stream: MLB TV Subscription</p><p>Time: 1:10 PM ET/10:10 AM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Twins Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Minnesota needs Ober to have a huge game if they want to keep this one close. Through eight starts, Ober has been very good. He has a 2.33 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and an oBA of just .205. He needs to be at the top of his game if the Twins want to end their losing streak. Ober has allowed less than three runs in six of his eight starts and has not allowed more than six hits in any of his starts. Tampa Bay has not been hitting the ball well lately, so Ober should be able to keep the Twins close.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Rays have not named their starter yet, but that should not matter. They have one of the best pitching staffs in the MLB right now. Tampa Bay has the third lowest ERA, second lowest oBA, second lowest WHIP, and fifth fewest hits allowed. The Rays have been getting it done on the mound all season, no matter who it is pitching the ball. Minnesota is an awful team at the plate. They are batting below .230 as a team and have struck out 28 more times than the next closes team. Minnesota averages 10.22 strikeouts per game at the plate. The Rays just need to pitch as they have been all season, and they will complete this sweep.</p><h2><b>Final Twins-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Rays are just way to good at home. Expect Tampa Bay to pick up the win and cover the spread.</p><p><b>Final Twins-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Rays -1.5 (+168), Over 7.5 (-118)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Twins-Rays prediction, pick, and how to watch.</p><p>Coming off a win last yesterday, the Rays have now won four straight games and six of their last ten. Things have been clicking on all cylinders for the Rays as of late. They have scored four or more runs in each of their last four games. At the same time, they have allowed just five runs combined in their last four games. Meanwhile, the Twins have now dropped three games in a row. They are sitting just a game over .500 on the season with a 31-30 record n the year. Still, that is good enough for first place in the AL Central and a 3.5-game lead for the Guardians.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Twins-Rays <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Twins-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Minnesota Twins: +1.5 (-172)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+142)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-102)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-120)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Twins vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: BSKC/BSFL</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 6:40 PM ET/ 3:40 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Twins Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Twins’ offense has not been amazing this year. While they are 16th in runs scored this year, they are 25th in batting average and 21st in on-base percentage. One of the big reasons the Twins scored in on-base percentage with runners in scoring position. They are currently third in the league in that category, behind just Boston and Texas. Trevor Larnach is having a good year in that regard. He is hitting .314 with runners in scoring position with a .695 OBP. He leads the team with 21 RBIS in those situations as well. Larnach hit just .143 in May before heading to the IL. He did not have a hit in his first game back last night.</p><p>Hitting well as of late has been Donovan Solano. Solano is hitting over .333 with six RBIs and three walks in his last six games. While hitting well, he has struggled with strikeouts. He struck out twice last night, and the night before. Since May 1st he has struck out 21 times in just 71 at bats. Solano is getting time at the plate because of an injury to Joey Gallo. Gallo has been dealing with a hamstring issue all year, and it has put the slugger<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-handed-brutal-joey-gallo-injury-update" rel="noopener"> back on the shelf</a>.</p><p>The Twins start Pablo Lopez in this game. On the year he is 3-3 with a 4.54 ERA. Lopez has not been great as of late. In three of the last four outings, he has given up four or more runs in under six innings of work. He did come away with one win in there, and his six innings and just two earned run start in between the bad ones picked him up the loss. Still, Lopez has had trouble keeping his pitch count down as of late and has been giving up far too many runs.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Rays have been the best team in baseball all year. They are led by their offense. The offense is second in the majors in runs scored, batting average, and on-base percentage. They are first in the league in slugging percentage. The pitching has been good as well. They are 3rd in ERA and opponent batting average while sitting 5th in WHIP. The only weak spot of the team has been the bullpen at times. That may be why they are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-2023-mlb-trade-deadline-targets" rel="noopener">looking at adding a bullpen arm</a> in the future.</p><p>The bullpen will have to be solid today though. The Rays will be employing their opener strategy today. It will be Shawn Armstrong taking the mound today. He has only one appearance in the year and it was good. On Sunday against the Red Sox, Armstrong pitched two innings. In that time, he did not give up a hit, walked one, and struck out three.</p><p>When the Rays go with the opener, they normally need to score a few extra runs. That will be headed up by Randy Arozarena. Arozarena leads the team in RBIs and is 11th in the majors with 42 of them on the year. Last night he drove in two, and those were his first two of June. After hitting .327 in the first month of the season, Arozarena has cooled off some. He is hitting just .243 since then, with only 14 of his 42 RBIs. If he cannot get it done, Jose Siri might be able to. He hit a home run last night and has driven in an RBI in each of the last two games. In his last ten games, he has driven in eight runs and is starting to produce more.</p><h2><b>Final Twins-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>While there should be some concern with the Rays starting an opener, Pablo Lopez has not been great pitching recently. If he continues to produce as he has been, the Rays will jump all over him. This one may be a higher-scoring game, but that favors the Rays as well.</p><p><b>Final Twins-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Rays -1.5 (+142) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They are only two games over .500, but they sit in first place in the AL Central division heading into their matchup with the Rays. In the last week of games, Donovan Solano leads the Twins offense with seven hits. However, some of their more important players have been struggling. Royce Lewis, Jorge Polanco, and Max Kepler are a combined 9-58 in that same span. On the mound, the Twins are one of the better teams in baseball. They have a team 3.42 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Their .225 oBA along with their WHIP is the lowest in the MLB. Minnesota’s starting rotation has put together 30 quality starts, which is second best in baseball.</p><p>The Rays are coming off a weekend series win against the Boston Red Sox. However, they have been struggling as of late at the plate. In the last six games, Tampa Bay is hitting .228 as a team. Yandy Diaz has seven hits in that span, but two of their better hitters are in slumps. Isaac Paredes, and Brandon Lowe are a combined 4-34 while Taylor Walls is 0-15 in the last six games. On the mound, Tampa Bay is solid. They have a team 3.66 ERA and Shane McClanahan is making his case to be AL Cy Young.</p><p>Louie Varland and Zach Eflin will be the starting pitchers in this game.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Twins-Rays <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Twins-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Minnesota Twins: +1.5 (-137)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+114)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-122)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (+100)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Twins vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: Bally Sports North, Bally Sports Sun</p><p>Stream: MLB TV Subscription</p><p>Time: 6:40 PM ET/3:40 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Twins Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Varland has been solid for the Twins this season. He has a 3.51 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through seven starts. In those starts, Varland has gone at least six innings in five of them. He is capable of going deeper into games and the Twins need him to do just that in this game. Varland is coming off a solid start against the Houston Astros his last time out, and they are not a bad offense. Varland shut them down for seven innings in that game. If he can have a repeat performance on the road in this game, the Twins will cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Eflin is having a good start to his first season with Tampa Bay. He is 7-1 with a 3.30 ERA and WHIP right at 1.00. In 60 innings pitched, Eflin has only walked eight batters. Tampa Bay has won nine of his 10 starts this season. What makes Eflin so good is his ability to miss barrels. He ranks above average in average exit velocity, xBA, and chase rate. Eflin does a good job at keeping hitters off balance and forcing them to chase out of the zone when the time is right. He is taking on a Twins team that is not very good offensively in this game. If Eflin can keep pitching well, the Rays will cover this spread at home.</p><h2><b>Final Twins-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Tampa Bay is the best home team in the league. The Twins are not great on the road this season, as well. Expect Eflin and the Rays to win a close one in this game.</p><p><b>Final Twins-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Rays -1.5 (+114), Over 7.5 (-122)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Floridians began the year by winning 12 straight games and have barely slowed down since, as they sit at 42-19 — the best record in baseball.</p><p>Manager Kevin Cash was always going to get the best out of his pitching staff, as the mastermind skipper utilizes long relievers, single-inning openers, and just about every trick he can to keep opponents off-balance. But the Rays also lead MLB in stolen bases and home runs.</p><p>Yet even with this impressive start, the Rays have just a four-game lead at the top of a treacherous AL East. In order to keep this cushion, these are some trade targets Tampa Bay must start considering.</p><h1><b>Rays: 3 early 2023 MLB trade deadline targets for Tampa Bay</b></h1><h2><b>Michael Lorenzen (SP), Detroit Tigers</b></h2><p>Thanks to their frequent use of openers instead of traditional starters, the Rays have used 12 different pitchers to start a game this season. While the few Tampa pitchers who have operated exclusively as starters have been wildly successful — including <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-shane-mcclanahan-surpasses-gerrit-cole-as-al-cy-young-favorite" rel="noopener">Shane McClanahan</a> and Zach Eflin — the Rays have sent just as many arms to the doctor’s table.</p><p>Tampa Bay currently has five pitchers on the injured list, including Jeffrey Springs and Drew Rasmussen  — both of whom were dominant to begin the campaign. Springs is out for the year while Rasmussen has at least two more months on the IL.</p><p>In Detroit, Michael Lorenzen has quietly put up a strong start in his first year with the Tigers, posting a 3.21 ERA across nine starts. This comes after a lengthy tenure of almost exclusively relief work with the Cincinnati Reds. Lorenzen doesn’t have filthy swing-and-miss stuff, but he generates a lot of spin on his fastball and cut his walk rate from a year ago in half, making him a smart Rays trade pickup.</p><h2>Eli Morgan (RP), Cleveland Guardians</h2><p>The Tampa Bay Rays have long had one of the best bullpens in baseball — that’s the popular belief anyways. After finishing with the seventh-best bullpen ERA in 2022, the Rays are eighth-worst in that category this year. But the team’s real struggles come in the ninth inning.</p><p>Rays relievers have picked up just 62 saves in 111 opportunities (55.9%) since the start of 2022. Yet if there is one thing we know about the Rays organization, they won’t address this problem directly. Kevin Cash is going to stick with his closer-by-committee method, even if it hasn’t worked out.</p><p>Eli Morgan hasn’t pitched in a ton of high-leverage situations in Cleveland, but the righty boasts an impressive 1.93 ERA and one of the lowest average exit velocities in the league. Morgan has the ability to pitch multiple innings as well, giving the Rays another flexible arm out of the pen.</p><h2><b>Andrew Nardi (RP), Tampa Bay Rays</b></h2><p>In continuing with the pitching-heavy theme, the Rays have the second-worst bullpen WAR (-2.4) in MLB. The Miami Marlins meanwhile have a 16-4 record in one-run games. With names like Dylan Floro and A.J. Puk putting up great seasons for Miami, there is no shortage of available arms in South Florida.</p><p>Perhaps the best reliever in Miami — and a guy getting almost no attention — is Andrew Nardi. The lefty ranks in the 98th percentile in average exit velocity to go with a <a href="https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/andrew-nardi-677053" rel="noopener">2.79 expected ERA</a>. The 24-year-old is having a breakout season, coming out of nowhere after his rookie year ERA approached 10.00 in 2022, and is an affordable player still on his rookie deal. A perfect Rays trade target.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Injuries have already ravaged their deep pitching staff, and now the team is going to be without one of their sluggers.</p><p>The Rays placed second baseman Brandon Lowe on the <a href="https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/1665779715477495809?s=20" rel="noopener">10-day injured list</a> with lower back inflammation, according to Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. This comes a week after closer Pete Fairbanks went on the 15-day IL <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tampa-bay-places-pete-fairbanks-15-day-il" rel="noopener">with a hip issue</a> (no structural damage).</p><p>Before the move, Lowe was struggling profusely at the plate with a .199 batting average and .686 OPS. The former All-Star has played 100 games or more in a season just once since being called up in 2018. His power (nine dingers, 29 RBIs) usually makes him a valued asset for the Tampa Bay lineup, but the team has done just fine in that department. The Rays lead baseball with 104 home runs, turning what was their biggest question mark into their best strength.</p><p>Although they have also been getting it done on the mound, the Rays have relied heavily on their stout offense to overcome multiple devastating pitching injuries. Right-hander Drew Rasmussen is out with a flexor strain and southpaw Jeffrey Springs underwent Tommy John surgery.</p><p>There is good news in St. Petersburg, though. Starter Tyler Glasnow is back and getting back in the groove of things, while star shortstop Wander Franco will return to the lineup Monday after dealing with a strained hamstring.</p><p>The next man up mentality has worked wonders thus far, so fans should not be overly panicked being without Brandon Lowe for a bit.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Rays-Red Sox prediction, pick, and how to watch.</p><p>Aided by a little league home run, the Rays took game three of the series over the Red Sox on Sunday. It was another solid outing for Taj Bradley as he picked up his fourth win of the year, and the bullpen pitched four scoreless innings to get the win. On the other side, Tanner Houck gave up four runs in five innings, it was the third time in four games that Houck has given up four runs in a start. Corey Kluber came out of the bullpen for the second time in the series but without as much success in this showing. He gave up two runs in two innings of work yesterday. The Rays are now 6-1 over their division rivals on the season, with the Red Sox only winning the first game of the Saturday doubleheader.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Rays-Red Sox <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rays-Red Sox Odds</b></h2><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+102)</p><p>Boston Red Sox: +1.5 (-122)</p><p>Over: 9 (-104)</p><p>Under: 9(-118)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Rays vs. Red Sox</b></h2><p>TV: BSSUN/NESN</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 4:05 PM ET/ 1:05 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>In the process of winning two of the last three of the Red Sox, the Rays have seen plenty of their players go down with injuries. First, they lost Wander Franco in the doubleheader, and then Brandon <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-brandon-lowe-mysterious-back-injury-red-sox" rel="noopener">Lowe was scratched</a> before the game yesterday. Those two injuries also coincide with Manuel Margot being banged up <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tampa-bay-outfielder-suffers-injury-scare-vs-red-sox" rel="noopener">after crashing into the Green Monster</a> on Saturday. Still, this is the best team in baseball. The Rays are sitting at 42-19 on the season, and have won six of their last ten ballgames. The offense has been spectacular all year. They sit second in runs scored, batting average, and on-base percentage. The Rays lead the league in slugging percentage and home runs.</p><p>Leading that offense has been Yandy Diaz. Diaz has the second best OPS in the majors and the seventh-best batting average in all of baseball. He has been having a great series against the Red Sox as well. He is five for 15 at the plate, scoring four RBIs, two doubles, and two runs. Joining Diaz in having a solid series is Harold Ramirez. He is five for 11 on the series with four RBIs and a walk. After slumping slightly towards the end of May, having just four RBIs in his last ten games of the month, Ramirez has found his groove against the Red Sox in this series.</p><p>Beyond the offense, the Rays’ pitching has also been solid. The team ERA and team WHIP are both sixth in the majors, while the opponent’s batting average is sitting third in the majors. Shane McClanahan heads to the mound today for the Rays. McClanahan has been solid in his last six starts. In May he went 35.2 innings in those six starts while giving up eight runs and winning three games. His last time out he gave up two runs, but with only one run of support, he took his first loss of the year.</p><h2><b>Why The Red Sox Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>While the Rays have had a great offense this year, the same could be said about the Red Sox. This year, they are top five in Slugging, runs, batting average, and on-base percentage. The offense has not been enough for the as of late. They have lost nine of their last 13 games and had some struggled offensively. In that time they have scored two or fewer runs seven times, picking up just one win in those games.</p><p>The offense has been paced by Masataka Yoshida. He is hitting .351 since the start of May and sits fifth in the majors with a .318 batting average for the year. While Yoshida is not driving in a lot of runs, he is scoring a fair amount. Since the start of May, he has scored 18 times, including three times in the last four games. Driving in the runs has been Rafael Devers. Devers is currently third in the majors in RBIs with 49. After driving in 20 runs in May, Devers has struggled a little in this series. He has driven in just one run, while not recording a hit in the series.</p><p>While the offense has been good, the Red Sox’s pitching has struggled, and it is becoming clear that if the Red Sox want to make a run to the postseason, they may need to look at <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-early-2023-mlb-trade-deadline-targets" rel="noopener">acquiring some pitching.</a> Brayan Bello is one of the pitchers who has not been stellar this year. He is 3-3 on the year with a 3.89 ERA. Still, his last five starts have been good. He has a 2.67 ERA in his last five starts but took two losses as he was unable to get run support. He has given up two or fewer earned runs in each of his last five starts and will be looking to keep the solid work going.</p><h2><b>Final Rays-Red Sox Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Both offenses in this game are capable of scoring plenty of runs. The Rays’ offense is slightly better, but that is not to say the Red Sox do not have a stellar offense as well. The difference in this one is the starting pitching and the bullpen. McClanahan could be on his way to winning a Cy Young. McClanahan may need to go deep into this game though. The Rays are 22nd in bullpen ERA this year, while the Red Sox sit 11th. This should be a tight game. McClanahan has received three or fewer runs of support in three of his last five starts. If that happens again today, the Red Sox will walk away with a win. Regardless, it is hard to pick against McClanahan who has seen his team win 10 of his 12 starts while coving 1.5 runs in nine of them.</p><p><b>Final Rays-Red Sox Prediction &amp; Pick: Rays -1.5 (+102) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, Brandon Lowe’s latest injury has a much more <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-wander-franco-update-hamstring-injury-doubleheader" rel="noopener">ominous feel for the Rays</a>.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-brandon-lowe-reaction-mlb-wins-record" rel="noopener">Lowe was scratched</a> from the Rays’ contest against the Red Sox on Sunday with what was believed to be a lower leg issue. However, manager Kevin Cash later confirmed that Lowe is <a href="https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/1665455061105885187" rel="noopener">dealing with a back injury</a>, via Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.</p><p>Even with the specific injury now known, Tampa Bay is still not aware of the severity. In the coming days, the Rays will likely perform tests to see if Lowe will have to miss a significant amount of time.</p><p>Injuries were a problem for Lowe last season, as he only appeared in 65 games. However, his play on the field hasn’t been up to his 2019 All Star level. Over 50 games this year, Lowe is hitting .199 with nine home runs and 29 RBI.</p><p>To his credit, Lowe has already surpassed his output from last season. Still, Tampa Bay is expecting more from their infielder. However, regardless of his current performance, the Rays main priority when it comes to Lowe is his health.</p><p>A late scratch is never good for any player. However, the cause behind Lowe’s injury are still unknown. Tampa Bay was able to defeat the Red Sox on Sunday 6-2. However, Lowe’s mysterious injury surely left a sour taste in their mouth and could potentially shelf the infielder for an indefinite amount of time.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Fueled by their incredible start to the year, the team has not looked back since that magical 13-game winning streak. Unfortunately, Tampa might be running into a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tampa-bay-loses-key-reliever-pete-fairbanks-injury" rel="noopener">contending team’s worst nightmare: injuries</a>. Wander Franco suffered an injury during the Rays’ doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox.</p><p>Franco has an extensive history of injuries during his time with the Rays. Naturally, fans are worried about the star shortstop’s healthy. The good news is that Franco didn’t seem to suffer a serious injury. However, the shortstop is still <a href="https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/1665387920033828867?s=20" rel="noopener">expecting to miss some time</a> to recover from his injury, per Mark Topkin.</p><p>“#Rays Franco said left hamstring grabbed him on the 7th inning double in Game 1, which is why he ran cautiously to 3B. Said he will rest again today and get treatment, and hopes to return to lineup Monday.”</p><p>Franco has been one of the best players, not only for the Rays, but in the entire American League. He’s hitting above .300 this season with a .860 OPS and seven homers. He’s also stolen 29 bases this year, adding more firepower to a Tampa team that is brimming with hitters that can drive in runs with ease. Franco is hoping that he’ll be able to return to the team sooner.</p><p>The Rays still sit on top of the AL East, but their seat is getting warmer by the day. The Baltimore Orioles are just 3.5 games behind them, and are a threat to close the gap if Tampa Bay gets caught slipping. The New York Yankees are a little farther away at six games, but the threat of New York’s many bombers won’t make many fans comfortable. The Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays are also possible candidates to ruin their lives at some point during the season.</p><p>The Rays finish off their series against the Red Sox today, presumably without Wander Franco. Tampa should have enough firepower to take on Boston, but you never know in the AL East. Can this team survive without one of their best hitters and defenders in the lineup?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There have been issues concerning the health of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-vs-red-sox-game-2-prediction-odds-pick-how-to-watch-6-3-2023" rel="noopener">pitching staff</a>, and the latest potential injury concerns left-handed pitcher Josh Fleming.</p><p>A versatile performer who is capable of starting or throwing multiple innings in relief, had “discomfort” in his left elbow Saturday morning after playing catch on Friday. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tampa-bay-trade-robert-stephenson-pirates" rel="noopener">Fleming reported</a> that the feeling was near his triceps muscle.</p><p>Fleming actually pitched last Sunday and followed up by throwing a bullpen session Wednesday and did so without issue. However, when he woke up Friday with some stiffness in that elbow, he thought that playing catch would loosen his arm.</p><p>However, he reported that he felt discomfort and he had both an MRI and a CT scan Satuday. Fleming is <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2023/06/03/josh-fleming-rays-pitching-injuries-yonny-chirinos/" rel="noopener">definitely concerned</a> about any potential problem.</p><p>“Anytime you’re dealing with that area, obviously the mind always goes to worst-case scenario,” he said. “I definitely don’t think that’s the case, but you never know. The results will tell us.”</p><p>The Rays are playing a doubleheader in Boston against the Red Sox Saturday, and the original plan included using Fleming for multiple innings in one of the games at Fenway Park. Since Josh Fleming was not available, Trevor Kelley was used as Tampa Bay’s opener in the first game, and multiple relievers followed.</p><p>The Red Sox won the first game in comeback fashion, earning an 8-5 victory.</p><p>Tyler Glasnow, who came off the injured listed in May, is making his second start of the season in the second game of the twin bill.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/tampa-bay-rays">Tampa Bay Rays</a> (40-18) will take on the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox">Boston Red Sox</a> (29-27) for Game 2 of a double-header between the two clubs. The first game is underway at 1:10 p.m. ET. Check out our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a> for our Rays-Red Sox prediction and pick.</p><p>The Tampa Bay Rays come into this game as the best team in the MLB and in firm control of the AL East. They’re rolling hot going 6-4 in their last 10 games, but they’re coming off a disappointing series loss to the Chicago Cubs. They’ll hope to notch at least one win in Boston during this double-header. Tyler Glasnow (0-0) (RHP) will be their likely starter.</p><p>The Boston Red Sox are in fifth place in the AL East and sit 10 games back of the Rays. They haven’t seen a ton of consistency in their season and are having a tough time keeping up in baseball’s toughest division. The Red Sox are in a bad skid right now, losing seven of their last 10 games. A win today would be a big boost for their confidence as they close this series out. The Red Sox have not yet named a starter for this game.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Rays-Red Sox <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rays-Red Sox Game 2 Odds</b></h2><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -152</p><p>Boston Red Sox: +128</p><p>Over (9): -110</p><p>Under (9): -110</p><h2><b>How To Watch Rays vs. Red Sox Game 2</b></h2><p>TV: Regional Coverage</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 6:10 p.m. ET/ 3:10 p.m. PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Rays have arguably the best lineup in baseball right now and are extremely dangerous when scoring runs early in the game. They’re second in the MLB in average at .267. They’re first in wins with 40 and also lead the league in HR with 103. The Rays also rank second in MLB RBI and third in hits. If their pitching can continue to keep them competitive in games, they have all the firepower in the world to have a chance each time out.</p><p>The Rays are 14-12 on the road this year and have gone 36-15 as the favorites this year. If they can get their bats going in the first game of this double-header, they should be able to keep momentum and get two wins today. The Rays have owned the Red Sox thus far this season and will send Tyler Glasnow to the mound in search of his first win on the season. Look for the first game of the double-header to be a good indicator of how ready the Rays are.</p><h2><b>Why The Red Sox Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Red Sox have struggled during their latest stretch of games and would love to notch at least one win during this double header. Their pitcher is still undecided as they’ve had to work deep into their bullpen in the last few games. The Sox may start the first game slow, but don’t be surprised if their bats pick up by the second installation. The Red Sox may be drained from their recent activity so look for them to lean heavily on their pitching in this one.</p><p>They Sox are a good home team at 16-13 and have gone 16-15 when listed as the underdogs. They are, however, just 17-21 when facing off again RHP. To win this game, the Red Sox will need a lopsided inning scoring-wise to break into a lead. Once they’re up, they’ll look towards their bullpen to finally close a game out for them.</p><h2><b>Final Rays-Red Sox Game 2 Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The first game of this double-header will be the best indication on which side to pick in this one. At the time of this article being written, the Rays currently lead to Sox 3-0 in the third inning. It’s clear that the Rays came to play today and will ride that momentum into Game 2. Let’s take the Rays to win the second of this back-to-back.</p><p><b>Final Rays-Red Sox Game 2 Prediction &amp; Pick: Tampa Bay Rays </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
