Free MLB Pick

The Rays scoring goes up against lefthanders by 0.69 runs but when a team has scored 4 runs in their last 6 games will it really matter? Erasmo Ramirez has brilliant historical statistical numbers against the Orioles, with the batters he’s faced having a 0.95 BA in 42 at bats, but does he revert back to that form after showing little of it this season in 5 starts? Wei-Yin Chin has tailed off slightly since his great start to the season but he’s already beaten the Rays twice this season including a 6 inning 2-run performance at Camden Yards back in early May.
