One of the most even MLB games to be disputed next Wednesday, June 12th, corresponds to the second game of the series between Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs, teams that are handling an interesting Inter-League series were Tampa Bay took advantage after the first game, so the Cubs are forced to show a better performance to avoid getting away from the Wild Card spots in the National League.
When looking at Tampa Bay Rays’ performance, this team was able to cut off with a streak of 4 losses in a row after defeating Chicago Cubs on Game 1 (5-2), however they still are the worst defensive from the AL East Division with 322 conceded runs, so there aren’t any guarantees that they could manage to have a streak of consecutive victories.
On Chicago Cubs’ side, they also have won only 1 of their last 5 disputed matches and it wasn’t against a very competitive team as Cincinnati Reds. Additionally, they’re the worst defensive from the NL Central Division with 303 conceded runs so far this season, being important to remark that Hector Neris allowed 4 runs on Game 1.
