Free MLB Pick
The Rays’ starter Alex Colome has been very good against the Indians in two starts pitching a combined 13 1/3 scoreless innings. The Indians’ starter Carlos Carrasco’s numbers aren’t as strong but still more than respectable with three consecutive Q starts including 6 2/3 innings of 3 runs ball a couple of weeks back. The side is too difficult to call but with Tampa Bay’s lack of scoring and Colome’s dominance we feel comfortable taking the UNDER.
