Hot off a 13-3 victory in Game 1, the Tampa Bay Rays plan to bury the Houston Astros with another win on Friday at Dalkin Park.
The Rays are 4-1 in their last 5 games to stay in second place in the AL East with a 29-27 record, 6.5 games behind the 35-20 New York Yankees. Tampa Bay have been torching opposing teams with their waxing hot offense over the last 5 games, averaging 8.6 runs on a ridiculous .318 batting average.
The Astros also sit in second in their division with a 30-26 record, 0.5 games below the Seattle Mariners. Houston is also doing pretty well behind the plate as of late, generating 5.7 runs per game on a .312 batting average over their last 5 assignments.

Our Houston Astros vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Why you should bet on the Rays to win: Astros starter Framber Valdez has powered his team to a win in his last four starts. In his previous mound appearance, Valdez smothered the Mariners to only one earned run over six innings in a 2-1 win. Against the Rays, though, it would be interesting to see how Valdez neutralizes the Rays' blazing hot offense. Tampa Bay has dropped 13 runs on the Astros’ head in the series opener, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the visiting team does it again in style. The Rays average 4.4 runs per game on the road this season and have pitched a 1.60 ERA over their last 5 game, with the bullpen surrendering a 1.38 ERA.
Our betting prediction for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. the Houston Astros: The Rays will win
