A full 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Saturday, and one of the games featured will see the Tampa Bay Rays take on the San Francisco Giants. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Rays and the Giants.

San Francisco has not had a great start to the season, but they will look to turn things around in Game 2 of this series. The Giants are scheduled to start Landen Roupp, who has posted a record of 5-1 and an ERA of 2.55. He has been one of the better starting pitchers for the Giants thus far, especially on the road, which suggests the Giants have a decent chance to win this game.

As for Tampa Bay, they have a decent record, and will counter with Griffin Jax. He has a record of 1-2 this season, but an ERA of 6.35. Pitching at home has been somewhat troublesome for Scholtens, and that could continue against a Giants’ offense that has been scoring more runs as of late.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

San Francisco is the small favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. The Giants may have lost Game 1 of this series, but the edge they have in starting pitching for Game 2 is too hard to ignore.

Roupp has been lights out when pitching on the road this season, and in three away starts, he has allowed one earned run over 18.0 innings.

As for Jax, he looks likely to be used as an opener for this game, but in four home appearances (one start), he has allowed two earned runs over 5.0 innings. Even though Jax does not have a huge sample size regarding pitching at home, because of Roupp’s dominance on the road, our Tampa Bay Rays vs San Francisco Giants prediction is: San Francisco Giants ML.
