The Rays are 2-3 in their last 5 games, but they scored a come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Astros on Tuesday. Tampa Bay snatched the win from behind thanks to timely hits Jonathan Aranda (RBI single in the 8th) and Taylor Wallis (sacrifice fly in the 9th). Relief pitcher Manuel Rodriguez was credited with a win after securing the final outs of the match.
The Astros (25-23) are 3-2 in their last 5 games to stay withing 2.5 games of the AL West leader, the Seattle Mariners (27-20), in the standings.

Our Houston Astros vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Hunter Brown fuels Astros to a big win over the Rays
Why we should bet on the Astros to cover -1.5 runs: The Astros are 4-2 against the spread in their last 6 road games. Hunter Brown, the Astros’ most dependable hurler this season, is set to start vs. the Rays on Wednesday, putting more pressure on a Rays squad that is batting .209 with 3.0 runs per game over the last five games. I also don’t trust Rays starter Taj Bradley to match up the intensity and the production that Brown will put on display in Game 3. Bradley is averaging 2.80 earned runs per game over his last five starts and allowed five runs in a 4-9 loss to Miami on May 16.
Our betting prediction for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Houston Astros: Astros -1.5 Runs
