Tampa Bay Rays vs Atlanta Braves Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/13/25, 9:43 AM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

From the Braves' weekend series against the Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Stadium, it was expected that the Braves would have some offensive revival, and it arrived late but opportunely in the final three innings of Game 2, where they were able to put together five runs thanks to a home run by Albies and Murphy and a two-run home run by Harris to win 5-4 against the Rays.

For the Rays, Rasmussen completely dominated the Braves in the five innings he pitched, allowing only four hits and striking out seven, along with one walk. Then the replacements Rodríguez, Cleavinger, and Uceta would do the job, but then Biggie and Sulser, who got the L, between the two received the 4 runs with which the Rays would record their 8th loss of the season.

Despite winning 5-4 thanks to late home runs, the Braves left a whopping 22 players on base on a day of 15 hits and 28 TB combined, but they would hit into double plays four times. Riley batted 3-for-5 as the second hitter, and Ozuna went 2-for-5 behind him.
