As he was warming up in the bullpen prior to the ninth inning, however, he “locked up” his hip. Fairbanks had to limp off the bullpen and proceeded to the dugout to get checked. With Fairbanks hurt, manager Kevin Cash opted to stick with Jason Adam to finish the contest.</p><p>It is still uncertain if <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-pete-fairbanks-injured-list" rel="noopener">Fairbanks will have to be</a> placed on the 15-day injured list once again, but the 29-year-old himself said that he’s <a href="https://twitter.com/ByKristieAckert/status/1662896736380043265?s=20" rel="noopener">currently undergoing treatment</a>, per Kristie Ackert of Tampa Bay Times.</p><p>Kevin Cash also don’t have much update on Pete Fairbank’s hip issue, though they are preparing for the worst possible outcome.</p><p>“His hip locked up. I don’t have much more. Obviously, <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/rays-reliever-pete-fairbanks-injures-210700478.html" rel="noopener">we’re gonna go get him</a> checked out. (The trainer) just said that (his) muscles look to be okay, but we saw him walk very gingerly from the bullpen and he was in some pain. No real update from that point,” Cash shared, via Yahoo Sports.</p><p>When asked about the possibility of Fairbanks going to the IL, Cash said: “I think we should be OK. I mean, we’ll see what happens with Pete. I mean, if he’s an IL (injured list), then we’re going to get another pitcher.”</p><p>The Rays play the Chicago Cubs next starting Monday. More <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-pete-fairbanks-tampa-bay-12-million-contract" rel="noopener">updates on Fairbanks</a> are expected to come prior to the three-game series. Hopefully, though, the right-hander’s injury isn’t as serious as it seems to be.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

From the start of the year until this point, Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees has bee the favorite to win the honor, but that is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-rays-2020-world-series" rel="noopener">no longer</a> the case. Cole has been bypassed by Shane McClanahan of the front-running Tampa Bay Rays.</p><p>The Rays have been baseball’s best team since the start of the year, and McClanahan has been their best pitcher. McClanahan, now in his 3rd season in the big leagues, has simply <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-shane-mcclanahan-bolsters-early-al-cy-young-award-resume-after-reaching-this-incredible-feat-vs-white-sox" rel="noopener">been dominant</a>. He has an 8-0 record along with a 1.97 earned run average and he has registered 75 strikeouts in 64.0 innings. He also has a 3-1 strikeout to walk ratio, as he has allowed just 25 walks to this point in the season.</p><p>As a result of the lefthander’s consistency and dominance, he is now the <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb?tab=player-awards" rel="noopener">+360 favorite</a> to earn the American League’s Cy Young Award. Cole rates as the No. 2 choice at +450,  while the sensational Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels is the 3rd choice at +700. Other pitchers who are in contention at this point include Joe Ryan (+1200) of the Minnesota Twins, Kevin Gausman (+1300) of the Toronto Blue Jays and Luis Castillo (+1600) of the Seattle Mariners.</p><p>Cole has also performed well, but he has not been as consistent as McClanahan. He has a 5-0 record in his 11 starts and has a 2.53 ERA with 70 strikeouts in 67.2 innings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are beginning a weekend set with the Tampa Bay Rays, the first meeting between the two teams since the COVID era 2020 World Series.</p><p>That feels like a lifetime ago for the world, and to a lesser degree, the MLB. Restrictions and disagreements between players and owners resulted in a 60-game season with the champion being crowned at neutral Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers stadium). Roberts <a href="https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1662198973426270209" rel="noopener">reflected a bit</a> on just how different everything is two-and-a-half years later.</p><p>“The world’s certainly changed since the last time we’ve seen these guys,” the skipper told The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya Friday.<br></p><p>And yet, both the Dodgers (31-20) and Rays (37-15) remain powerhouses and two of the favorites to win their respective leagues. They keep producing top homegrown talent and survive major injuries due to their never-ending depth. Tampa’s lineup was riddled with questions going into the season and LA’s pitching staff is rife with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-bobby-miller-shines-light-will-smith-mlb-debut" rel="noopener">young call-ups</a> and fill-ins. None of that seems to really matter, though.</p><p>They already feel like postseason locks and it is not even June. But there is another thing that hasn’t changed, a rare yet crucial drawback both franchises have to overcome. Coming through on the big stage. Of course, the Dodgers won that 2020 Fall Classic, but if this Clayton Kershaw, Mookie Betts and now Freddie Freeman core just wins one “unconventional” title, that would objectively be considered a disappointment.</p><p>The Rays face similar pressure, despite remaining near the top of baseball with one of the lowest payrolls in the league. Their ability to navigate through all other issues is just too impressive to then give them a pass on not winning a championship. 2023 is another big opportunity for both to rise to the grand October occasion.</p><p>Their greatness will not be negated, regardless, given how difficult it is to be consistently successful in the modern game. Though, it will come with that dreaded “but.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It is time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Dodgers-Rays prediction, pick, and how to watch.</p><p>The Dodgers currently sit in first place in the NL West and are coming in after taking two of three from the Atlanta Braves. It has not been the strongest stretch of play for the Dodgers as of late. They are just five and five over the last ten games. They have an opportunity to sweep the Braves, but after tying the game in the top of the eighth inning, Ozzie Albies drove in a run for the Braves in the bottom of the ninth to walk it off and avoid the sweep.</p><p>The Rays still sit with the best record in baseball at 37-15. They just took three of four games from the Blue Jays, and have won six of their last nine games. Even with solid play, they have seen their lead in the AL East shrink to just three games over the Baltimore Orioles as they have been playing well as of late.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Dodgers-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: Dodgers-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Dodgers: -1.5 (+164)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: +1.5 (-200)</p><p>Over: 9 (-115)</p><p>Under: 9 (-105)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Dodgers vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: SNLA/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 Dodgers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Dodgers may not be the home run machine that the Rays are, but they are still hitting plenty of bombs this year. They have hit 82 home runs which ranks them third in the majors. Their 279 runs this year are also third, and they are doing all of this with a 21st-ranking batting average this season. Max Muncy is the source of much of the power. Muncy has 15 home runs which tie him for second in the major. He has not had one in his last six games though and hit only four this month as he has seen his bat go cold. In May, Muncy is hitting just .169 with a .270 on-base percentage.</p><p>While Muncy has been cold, Mookie Betts is picking up his production. He has hit in eight straight games, has two home runs in that time, and seven dingers this month. That has led to 19 RBIs and 14 walks as pitchers have tried to stay clear of him. Also heating up has been J.D. Martinez. Martinez has hit four home runs in his last six games while driving in nine runs overall. He is hitting .400 in those games as well. Also hitting over .400 in the last week is Freddie Freeman, who is hitting .417 over his last six games with a home run and four RBIs.</p><p>On the mound today will be Noah Syndergaard. Thor has not been. at his best this year, going 1-3 with a 5.88 ERA. He has only one start in which he has not given up a run, but in that start, he went just one inning before exiting the game. In seven of the eight other starts, he has given up two or more runs in each of them, with home runs in five of them.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Tampa Bay Rays home run machine decided to take a night off last night. It was only the seventh time in 52 games this year that the Rays have not hit a home run. It was also just their third win in those games, and their second-highest run total of the season without hitting a home run. Last night Randy Arozarena drove in two more runs for the Rays. That gives him 39 on the season which ties him for eighth in the majors. Arozarena is having a great season. He is eighth in the majors in batting average, seventh in RBIs, seventh in OPS, and has hit 11 home runs. Arozarena also has been a walking machine this month. He has walked 17 times this month, sitting with a .446 on-base percentage this month.</p><p>Josh Lowe also drove in a run last night. It was his 35th of the season, which ties him for 13th in the majors. Like Arozrena, Lowe has been great. He is 10th in the majors in batting average, also has 11 home runs, and sits sixth in OPS on the year. The bat has gone a little cold from where he started this year. Lowe is hitting just .265 this month with a .315 on-base percentage. He has been struggling to find walks and contact. He has walked just five times this month while striking out 19.</p><p>This weekend the Rays will also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tyler-glasnow-excited-2023-debut-dodgers" rel="noopener">welcome back Tyler Glasnow</a>. He will be slated to start the game on Saturday, and in this game, the Rays will employ an opener. Jalen Beeks is set to take the hill to start the game for the Rays. He has made five opening appearances so far this year. In four of the five chances, Beeks has given up just one hit over two innings. Last time the one hit was a home run, but in the other three, he has held opponents scoreless.</p><h2><b>Final Dodgers-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>It is two of the best teams in baseball going head-to-head in this one. Both of the teams bring a lot of power to the plate and there should be some fireworks on display. The difference in this one will be Syndergaard. He has not been his old self this season and has truly struggled. The Rays will get to him early on and open up a lead. The Dodgers are going to fight back, but it will not be enough to cover.</p><p><b>Final Dodgers-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Rays +1.5 (-200) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Their success can be attributed to a combination of analytics, youthful talent, efficient spending, and perhaps some mysterious baseball sorcery that defies explanation.</p><p>Although they may have cooled down slightly from an initial 13-0 start, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tyler-glasnow-excited-2023-debut-dodgers" rel="noopener">Rays remain the team</a> to beat in the highly competitive AL East division. However, their reign could be challenged soon enough by a looming, familiar foe in a New York <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-new-york-randy-vasquez-padres-friday" rel="noopener">Yankees team ready to retake</a> their title due to an edge they have over the Rays.</p><p>As good as the Rays have been, they’re not void of weakness. And right now, they have a glaring one: the bullpen.</p><p>Going back to Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays, the Rays gave up a staggering 20 runs, with 16 of them coming from three relievers and two position players in five innings. Thus far, it was the most lopsided loss of the year for the Rays, potentially telling of how this could be an issue as the season moves forward.</p><p>The Rays have also let <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2023/05/20/rays-bullpen-struggles-jason-adam-kyle-snyder/" rel="noopener">too many leads slip away</a>, too many games get closer than they should be and have had to rely on their offense to bail them out too many times. They have a total of nine blown saves for the season, the ninth worst in the league.</p><p>Between injuries – including losing Garrett Cleavinger for the season <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/37568733/rays-place-reliever-garrett-cleavinger-knee-15-day-il" rel="noopener">with a knee issue</a> – and inconsistent performances, this isn’t the bullpen the Rays expected to have.</p><p>Any baseball enthusiast knows that when it comes to surviving a 162-game season, your team is going to need a strong bullpen. It’s what makes a good team a great team and a bad team worse. There’s only so long that a good offense like the Rays have can keep a team out of trouble.</p><p>To endure a long grueling season, a team has to make outs late in games. Moreover, a good bullpen is what separates the teams the most when it comes to producing in October.</p><p>The Yankees live on two things: the bat of Aaron Judge and their stellar bullpen. But hey, it works. It’s the formula they lived on last year and they’re doing much the same this year.</p><p>Last year, the Yankees ended their regular season with one of the top bullpens in the majors. They finished seventh in saves and third in ERA at 2.97. Much is the same this year as they’re fifth in the majors in saves with 15 and hold the league’s best in ERA at 2.94.</p><p>Besides having a bigger checkbook, this is the edge the Yankees have over the Rays. It’s how they’re likely to take back the AL East at some point this season if the Rays can’t fix their staggering bullpen issues.</p><p>Here’s a comparison of the two bullpens currently:</p><h2><b>Rays bullpen </b></h2><ul><li>4.52 ERA (6th worst)</li><li>219 IP (1st)</li><li>5.64 FIP (second behind only the Oakland Athletics)</li><li>6.82 K/9 (last) -1.64 Winning Percentage Average (25th)</li><li>1.31 WHIP (12th)</li></ul><h2><b>Yankees bullpen </b></h2><ul><li>2.94 ERA (1st)</li><li>199 IP (4th) 3.84 FIP</li><li>9.18 K/9 (22nd)</li><li>2.39 Winning Percentage Average (4th)</li><li>1.23 WHIP (23rd)</li></ul><p>What the Rays have been doing in a division brimming with talent has been impressive, especially with the injury bug that’s bit them over the month of May and before. A majority of those are some of their best starting pitchers, with others in their relief.</p><p>Here’s a list of all the Rays pitching injuries currently:</p><ul><li>Tyler Glasnow – SP</li><li>Zack Littell – RP</li><li>Drew Rasmussen – SP</li><li>Garrett Cleavinger – RP</li><li>Shawn Armstrong – RP</li><li>Shane Baz – SP</li><li>Andrew Kittredge – RP</li></ul><p>With that amount of talent being lost, it becomes taxing on a ball club, in particular a bullpen. The Rays are known for their analytical prowess, putting their players in the best positions to succeed, but eventually exhaustion is bound to happen. There are only so many bullpen games this team can go through before either more injuries happen and guys’ arms are worn out.</p><p>The good news is that Glasnow is expected back any day now, which should severely help the starting rotation and minimize the number of bullpen games. However, that still doesn’t fully solve the lingering issue. If the Rays want to stay ahead in the division, win it outright, and hold off the Yankees—or anyone else in the division for that matter—finding some fresh arms will be a necessity.</p><p>The bad news is that the Yankees, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/how-yankees-bullpen-is-best-in-majors-with-no-defined-roles-slew-of-injuries/ar-AA1bw3Wr" rel="noopener">even with injuries</a> to their bullpen, have been thriving. Five of their best arms on are the IL (Scott Effross, Lou Trevino, Tommy Kahnle, Jonathan Loaisiga, Ian Hamilton). That leaves the club with no set closer or regular reliever.</p><p>Yet, they continue to excel and have the league’s best ERA. Couple their strong performances with the contributions of key players like Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo, and Gerrit Cole, and the Yankees will be nipping on the Rays heels in no time for the AL East crown.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Shane McClanahan became the first eight-game winner in the majors with the victory last night as the MLB-best Tampa Bay Rays grabbed their 36th win of the year. The Rays have been dominant at home so far this year, with a 23-5 record. Luke Raley and Jose Siri hit home runs for the Rays, who also lead the majors with 97 home runs. The Rays are hitting nearly two home runs a game so far this year. Today, the Blue Jays will be looking to get just their third win in their last ten games. Their recent struggle has seen them drop from third in the AL East and in a wild card spot, to last place in the division and outside the playoff picture currently.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Blue Jays-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: Blue Jays-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Toronto Blue Jays: +1.5 (-164)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+136)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-114)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-106)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Blue Jays vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: SNET/BSSUN</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 1:10 PM ET/ 10:10 AM 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 Blue Jays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Blue Jays are in a major slump right now, and the biggest issue as of late has been pitching. In their last ten games the Blue Jays pitchers have surrendered 51 runs, a number that is only aided by their two victories in which they only gave up one run combined. If the Blue Jays plan to get back on track today, Alex Manoah is going to have to pitch well. He is currently 1-4 with a 5.15 ERA, and May has not been kind to him. This month in four starts he has given up 15 runs, 12 of them earned while going 0-3 with a 5.59 ERA. He has given up a home run in eight of his ten starts this year as well. His last time out against the Rays on April 16th, he gave up seven runs in 4.2 innings getting his first loss of the season.</p><p>During this slump for the Blue Jays, Matt Chapman has also been struggling. He is hitting just .207 this month with 29 strikeouts just 18 hits and eight walks. Chapman has been better as of late. He has hits in each of his last five games, with two walks, but still five strikeouts. Chapman needs to get his bat going to help the Jays turn things around. Unlike Chapman, Bo Bichette is still hitting well. Bichette sits fourth in the majors with a .327 batting average this season. Over the last month, he is hitting .340 with a .380 on-base percentage. He also has 12 RBIs this month but has not driven in a run in his last five games.</p><p>The team leader in RBIs this year is Valdimir Guerrero Jr. Vlad Jr. has 34 RBIs on the year and 19 of them have come this month. Six of those were in the 20-run putting put up by the Blue Jays in game two of this series. Still, He has 19 RBIs this month while hitting .288.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Tampa Bay Rays home run machine is continuing. Four players on the Rays now have ten or more home runs. Luke Raley joined that group last night with his tenth of the season. For Raley, it was his second home run of the series and third this month. Raley has not been producing a ton of runs this month, driving in just four runs, with three of those being himself via the home run. He has scored eight times though, while getting on base at a .364 clip. Josh Lowe does not have a home run in the series, but he does have six this month. He also has driven in 16 runs this month.</p><p>Joining Lowe with 11 home runs are Yandy Diaz and Randy Arozarena. Diaz missed the game yesterday as he was away from the team tending to a family matter. He may miss this game as well. Arozarena is having a great season. He is 11th in the majors in batting average, eighth in RBIs, and seventh in OPS. Arozarena also has been a walking machine this month. He has walked 16 times this month, sitting with a .432 on-base percentage this month.</p><p>Zach Eflin will be on the mound today. He is 6-1 so far this year with a 3.45 ERA. Eflin has been very consistent this year. He has given up three or four runs while pitching six or more innings in four of his eight starts. The other four starts have all seen fewer earned runs, but some of those were only five innings outings. Eflin is not the most dominant pitcher on the staff, but with the run support he receives, he is a perfect pitcher for the Rays.</p><h2><b>Final Blue Jays-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Tonight will come down to the starting pitching. Most likely Eflin is going to go six innings and give up three runs. Ray’s bullpen is solid, so if that happens, the offense should only need to produce four to five runs to win. Manoah gives up way too many home runs, and facing a team with this much power will be an issue.

This game will continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> as we hand out a Blue Jays-Rays prediction and pick while letting you know how to watch, as well.</p><p>The Blue Jays’ stats for this series are going to be a little bit skewed because they blew out the Rays 20-1 on Tuesday. With that said, the Blue Jays have 38 hits on the series, including a 27-hit performance in their 20-1 win. Toronto has out hit the Rays in both games this series and are doing a good job at the plate. Toronto has been impressive on the mound in this series. They have allowed just three earned runs in 18 innings pitched and the bullpen has not allowed any.</p><p>The Rays gave up nine runs in the ninth inning of game two, but that was because two position players were on the mound. The actual pitchers for the Rays have allowed 14 runs this series. However, the bullpen has not been bad. Not counting Josh Fleming, only two pitchers in the Rays bullpen have allowed runs this series. At the plate, the Rays only have 13 hits. Their hitting struggles are not something they are used to this season, but Tampa Bay will look to turn it all around in this one.</p><p>Yusei Kikuchi and Shane McClanahan are the starting pitchers in this game.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Blue Jays-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: Blue Jays-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Toronto Blue Jays: +1.5 (-126)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+105)</p><p>Over: 8 (-122)</p><p>Under: 8 (+100)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Blue Jays vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: Sportsnet Canada, 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 Blue Jays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Blue Jays are 7-2 when Kikuchi pitches. Kikuchi gives them a chance to win everytime he takes the mound. However, he is prone to giving up some hits. Nonetheless, the Blue Jays have covered a +1.5 spread in eight of Kikcuhi’s nine starts. If he can have a decent start in this game, the Blue Jays should be able to keep it within reach.</p><p>The Blue Jays have been hitting the cover off the ball in this series. They did not have many runs to show for it in game one, but game two they put up 20. McClanahan is a good pitcher, but the Blue Jays are hot and when a team is hot at the plate, they are always going to be tough to get out. If the Blue Jays can continue seeing the ball well and having good at-bats, they will cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Despite their struggles this series at the plate, the Rays still lead the MLB in home runs and OPS while ranking second in batting average. They are facing Yusei Kikuchi in this game. Although Kikuchi has been doing a good job this season, he has allowed 12 home runs. He has allowed four home runs in his last two starts. The Rays take advantage of mistakes left over the plate, so Kikuchi could be in trouble. If the Rays can launch a few over the fence, they will cover the spread.</p><p>Tampa Bay has their ace on the mound. McClanahan has 68 strikeouts through 57 innings pitched while allowing just 43 hits. On the season, he has allowed only 13 runs. In eight of his nine starts, McClanahan has allowed two earned runs or less. The Rays are 9-1 in games he has started, so McClanahan puts them in a position to win every time he takes the mound. If he can have another good start, the Rays will cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Final Blue Jays-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This game should be a close one. Both teams know each other well and the scouting reports are good. However, McClanahan is a very good pitcher and the Rays will not have a repeat of Tuesday night. Expect Tampa Bay to win this game and cover the spread.</p><p><b>Final Blue Jays-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Rays -1.5 (+105), Over 8 (-122)</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> with a Blue Jays-Rays Prediction and pick while we let you know how to watch, as well.</p><p>Tampa Bay scored three runs in the second inning of game one and that is all they needed. The Rays never lost the lead after that and went on to win the game 6-4. Tampa Bay had a tough task facing Chris Bassitt, but they made it look easy. They put up six runs off Bassitt and launched three home runs to increase their MLB team home run lead. Jose Siri, Randy Arozarena and Luke Raley were the long ball hitters for Tampa Bay. Wander Franco had a multi-hit game, as well. Josh Fleming picked up the win after coming in for the opener and going six innings of two run baseball. For Toronto, Whit Merrifield had four hits on the night, including a home run. Dalton Varsho also hit a home run in the loss.</p><p>The starting pitchers for Tuesday night are Jose Berrios and Taj Bradley.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Blue Jays-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: Blue Jays-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Toronto Blue Jays: +1.5 (-192)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: -1.5 (+158)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-118)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-104)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Blue Jays vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: Sportsnet Canada, 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 Blue Jays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Berrios should give the Blue Jays a good chance to cover this spread. Looking at the advanced stats, Berrios has a ground ball rate of 49.4 percent. This is going to be a massive help in this game because of the Rays ability to hit the ball in the air and over the fence. You can not hit a home run if you do not hit the ball in the air and Berrios does a great job preventing fly balls. Teams have an average launch angle of 7.9 degrees off Berrios, as well. The Rays will not be able to lift the ball in this one as long as Berrios stays low in the zone.</p><p>Berrios already has a start against the Rays under his belt. In that start, he went five innings, allowed just one run on four hits and struck out six. Having seen the Rays lineup already, Berrios knows what it takes to get them out and they way he pitches already does not bode well for the Rays. Berrios having another game like that will help the Blue Jays get back in the win column.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Bradley has been very good for Tampa Bay this season. Through his first four career starts, Bradley has a 3.54 ERA. That may seem just average, but he has a WHIP below 1.00, which is very good. He has allowed 15 hits in 20 1/3 innings while walking just four batters. Not only is his command elite, but he strikes out a good amount of batters too. He has a K/9 of almost 12, so his pitch arsenal plays really well. He is in the 93rd percentile in strikeout rate and the 92nd percentile in xBA. Batters have a hard time picking up the ball against Bradley and he should be able to have another good game in this one. If he can extend his outing past five innings, the Rays will cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Final Blue Jays-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This game should be close as both starting pitchers are pretty good. However, expect the Blue Jays to cover the spread and maybe even win the game.</p><p><b>Final Blue Jays-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Blue Jays +1.5 (-192), Under 8.5 (-104)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Control tends to be problematic at times for him, but he works around it with elite strikeout ability. But an even more pressing concern for Glasnow than losing the strike zone has been injury trouble during his career. The big right-hander hasn’t appeared in more than 30 games since 2018, when he came out of the bullpen for the Pittsburgh Pirates.</p><p>In 2019, Tyler Glasnow found himself in Tampa Bay and transitioned to the rotation. He started 11 games that season, and hasn’t started more than 14 games in a single campaign since. If he can return and stay on the field for the remainder of the ’23 season, the Rays will benefit without question. They have legitimate World Series aspirations this year but will need another star pitcher alongside Shane McClanahan in the rotation.</p><p>As of this story’s publication, the Rays have seen their American League East lead shrink to just 2.5 games over the Baltimore Orioles. In such a competitive division, Tyler Glasnow will look to help the Rays win the AL East and make a deep run this year.</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 you a Blue Jays-Rays prediction and pick while letting you know how to watch, as well.</p><p>The Blue Jays are currently on a four game losing streak after being swept over the weekend by the Baltimore Orioles. Being in the AL East, the Blue Jays can not afford to be swept by division opponents. Toronto is still a very good team, though. They are top half of the league in batting average and OPS. On the mound, the Blue Jays have a 4.01 ERA which is 11th best in the MLB.</p><p>The Rays are still the best team in baseball, but they are slowing down a bit. They are coming off a weekend series win against the Milwaukee Brewers, though. Tampa Bay is second in the MLB in batting average and runs scored while leading the league in home runs and OPS. On the mound, the Rays are second in the MLB in ERA.</p><p>These teams have already played this season in Toronto. The Blue Jays took two of three games in that series. Bo Bichette had seven hits in the three games while George Springer’s only hit was a home run. For the Rays, Wander Franco and Josh Lowe had four hits each in the three games. Lowe added a home run along with Christian Bethancourt and Taylor Walls.</p><p>The starting pitchers for Monday’s game are Chris Bassitt and Trevor Kelley.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Blue Jays-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: Blue Jays-Rays Odds</b></h2><p>Toronto Blue Jays: -1.5 (+152)</p><p>Tampa Bay Rays: +1.5 (-184)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-118)</p><p>Under: 8,5 (-104)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Blue Jays vs. Rays</b></h2><p>TV: SportsNet Canada, 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 Blue Jays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Bassitt is pitching extremely well this season. Through 56 innings, Bassitt has a 3.05 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. In those innings, he has struck out 48 while allowing just 34 hits. This gives opposing hitters a batting average of .175 off Bassitt. The Rays are one of the best hitting teams in the MLB, so it is going to be a battle. Clearly Bassitt does not give up a lot of hits, so he should be able to keep the Rays in check during this game. You can’t score if you don’t hit, so Bassitt matchups well with the Rays.</p><h2><b>Why The Rays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Rays are using an opener, but their bullpen is good. The second guy to come in will be the pitcher that is stretched out and we are unsure of who that is right now. It could be Josh Fleming, though. Nonetheless, the Rays need to keep the Blue Jays from scoring. With Bassitt on the mound, the Rays will not score to many runs. If Tampa Bay can hold the Blue Jays down, they will put themselves in position to cover the spread. As mentioned, Tampa Bay has the second-best ERA in the MLB, so their pitchers are very good. The Rays will cover this spread if they hold the Blue Jays to three or four runs.</p><h2><b>Final Blue Jays-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This game could be pretty low scoring. Expect the Blue Jays to cover the spread, though. Chris Bassitt is very good and throwing the ball well lately. With him on the mound, the Blue Jays are hard to beat.</p><p><b>Final Blue Jays-Rays Prediction &amp; Pick: Blue Jays -1.5 (+162), Under 8.5 (-104)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
