Despite the Rays' clear dominance in the AL East, the Orioles have emerged as a thorn in their side this year. The O's have taken all three games of the series at Tropicana Field, won their last five against their division rivals, and are looking to complete the sweep on Monday.

It's thanks to their suddenly ignited hitting that the Orioles, after a sluggish start to the season, are now appearing in the playoffs as the last wild card. Finally, throughout August, home runs have been plentiful. After the Orioles made some unusual lineup changes on Saturday, such as batting Alonso leadoff, the formula worked, but on Sunday they returned to their usual order with Holliday batting leadoff, and he went 2-for-4.

On Sunday, the Orioles had an explosive, seven-run sixth inning, where, with two outs, six consecutive batters reached base; Cowser hit a two-run homer, and Holliday added an RBI double in an inning that made it 10-1.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

The Rays, who are rarely swept, hope that doesn't happen on Monday when Shane McClanahan takes the mound; he's just returning from medical leave with a back injury. He threw 30 pitches in a rehab outing and doesn't appear likely to be given too heavy a workload on Monday.

Brandon Young, with a 9-3 record and a 3.33 ERA, will start for the Orioles. This year he had an eight-inning perfect game; Now, in his last outing, he pitched 6 innings of one-run ball in a quality start against the Twins.

Our prediction for Rays vs Orioles is: Orioles ML.
