Tampa Bay Rays vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/3/25, 11:29 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/4/25 at 10:34 PM in MLB Picks

Yandy Díaz had an excellent game in Game 2 of the Rays-Dodgers game, helping Tampa Bay beat the Dodgers with home runs in the first inning and a two-run homer in the third. All of the game's runs came via home run, as Caminera hit his 28th home run of the season in the bottom of the sixth inning. This tied the series at one game apiece; the Rays won Game 2 as betting underdogs, and the two games of the series resulted in a total game under betting.

For the Dodgers, Snell returned from his lingering injury on Saturday. Roberts' starting rotation, which was replaced by May, now looks much more like the one originally constructed, but was sabotaged by injuries. Nevertheless, Saturday was an atypical game for the Dodgers' offense. They struck out 11, and Mookie Betts went 0-for-4 in an excellent performance by Drew Rasmussen, who pitched 5.1 innings, allowing 4 hits and 6 strikeouts.

Game 3, the series-clinching game, on Sunday will feature a Yamamoto-Boyle duel, with the Dodgers' win odds dropping to -160.
