Prediction: Tampa Bay Rays
Bookmaker: 1xbet
The Baltimore Orioles continue their search for their first victory over the Tampa Bay Rays this season in their match. They had a great start to their return from the All-Star break by knocking off the Kansas City Royals on the road over the weekend.
However, the level of difficulty is about to drastically increase with a run-in with the Rays next on the itinerary. Tampa Bay put the finishing touches on the Atlanta Braves in a closeout game on Sunday. Spenser Watkins is expected to receive the nod to start at pitcher for the Orioles opposite of Rays lefty Ryan Yarbrough.
Both teams are riding the same struggle bus, and the Orioles just so happened to be the ones to come out on top. The Rays have dominated these head-to-head meetings flawlessly. Baltimore is still searching for their first victory in St. Petersburg, and it isn’t going to come on a Monday in the series opener.
The Orioles might have had some success against lefties, but they’ve had no success against the Rays. Ryan Yarbrough doesn’t need to be perfect on the mound. He only needs to stave off enough bats and let the Rays offense do the rest.
Spenser Watkins has only two starts as a rookie, but this will be his first road start as a big-leaguer. That doesn’t bode well against the second-ranked team in the AL and a potential playoff contender. This will be a big teaching moment for the young arm.
This match will be the Rays victory over the Orioles.
