Free MLB Pick
The Rays just can’t score managing to surpass four runs zero times in their last 13 games before breaking out for five runs last night against the Tigers. They will face the ace of the Tigers staff David Price who has been sharp in recent starts with an ERA of 1.17 in his last three outings. Jake Odorizzi gets the ball for Tamp bay and while he hasn’t been at his best in recent starts he has been sharp at home with a 1.40 ERA in six starts. The Tigers offense hasn’t been as strong as of late scoring two or less runs in three of their last four. The total line is a very low 6.5 but we feel that’s the safest bet on this game.
