Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/18/25, 4:33 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 1/13/26 at 9:39 AM in MLB Picks

The Tampa Bay Rays will host the Baltimore Orioles in Game 3 of a four-game series tonight at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida. First pitch is scheduled for 7:35 p.m. EST.

Tampa Bay entered this series fresh off a sweep of the Mets in New York that saw the Rays outscore them 24-9. They followed that up with a decisive win over the Orioles in Game 1 of the series, 7-1. But then Baltimore held the hard-hitting Rays lineup in check yesterday, beating Tampa Bay 5-1. The Rays will turn to Taj Bradley on the mound to start the day. Bradley tends to be either really good or really bad. So far this month, he has three starts under his belt. He held the other team scoreless in two and gave up seven runs in the other. May saw similar results; he gave up two runs in each of four starts but then gave up five in another. Baltimore’s starter, Trevor Rogers, will be making just his second MLB start. His first, against Boston on May 24, saw him throw 6 1/3 innings, give up only two hits and no runs with five strikeouts and no walks.
