Free MLB Pick
Tampa Bay has been feasting on the Orioles pitching with 17 runs scored in the last two meetings. Baltimore continues to struggle to put runs on the board exceeding three runs on only one occasion in their last 10 matches. Rays’ starter Erasmo Ramirez has a 4.62 earned run average on the road this season but he knows how to win with a 5-1 record and the team 8-3 in his 11 road outings. He got lit up by the Orioles for five runs in 7 1/3 innings back in July back in July, but he has held the roster to a lifetime .203 batting average in 59 at bats. Baltimore starter Kevin Gausman hasn’t been terrible against the Rays getting a nice Q start in his latest, but his team is a poor 1-4 in his five career starts against them.
