Our Cleveland Guardians vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
The Rays are in good shape to extend their win streak, making them a sharp play at +100 moneyline at Caesars Sportsbook. The offense might not be explosive, but their pitching has been flat-out suffocating, particularly during this recent five-game stretch.
Rasmussen will continue to punish the Guardians, who are already suffering at the plate (4.0 runs per game on a .226 BA this season). His duel with Cleveland's Gavin Williams is going to be fun to watch, but the latter's subpar performance against Toronto on April 24 (6 earned runs over six innings) makes him vulnerable to the Rays, who average 4.6 runs per game on the road this season.
Tampa has been terrific on the road as of late. They are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games on the road. Cleveland is 3-4 in their last 7 home games.
Our betting prediction for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. the Cleveland Guardians: The Rays will win.
