After a lopsided 16-6 win for the Rays in game one, fierce rivals Tampa Bay and Baltimore go head-to-head once again on Tuesday night.

That huge victory for the Rays moved them to an impressive 31-15 for the season and means they now have a two game lead over the Yankees in the AL East. Meanwhile, the Orioles dropped to 21-27 as their season continues to fall apart after a bright start. 

The Rays' excellent recent form has largely been down to some explosive hitting (34 runs in their alst 4 games), plus solid relief play from the bullpen and astute game management. That dynamic offensive play spells trouble for an Orioles team that have conceded a mammoth 32 runs in their last three outings. Barring a dramatic turnaround in form, it looks set to be another dismal evening for Baltimore.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

The Rays are one of the most in-form teams in MLB, and based on game one, we cannot see the struggling Orioles doing anything to stop their charge.

Of course, there will be personnel changes on Tuesday night, but never underestimate the importance of momentum in Major League Baseball, and all the momentum is with the home side at the minute. 

Not only are we tipping Tampa Bay to win, but we think they will easily cover the run line en route to their fourth victory in a row. 

Our prediction for Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles is: Rays (-1.5) to win. 

Prediction:

 

Rays (-1.5) to win
