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

Prediction published on 6/16/26, 1:29 PM  by Edgar Jibran in MLB Picks

The last game in the MLB schedule for this Tuesday will feature the second game of the series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. For this game, the Rays are expected to show a better batting performance, as they already are 1.5 games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East Division standings.

However, it’s worth noting that the Los Angeles Dodgers chose Justin Wrobleski as the opening pitcher for this game, a wise decision when considering that he has a 7-2 record this season. Despite this, it cannot be ignored that Wrobleski earned 4 or more runs in three of his last seven games started, so it’s a fact that he lost some consistency during his most recent appearances.

Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays will have Drew Rasmussen as their opening pitcher, a decision that reflects their engagement in keeping competitive in this series. In this regard, Rasmussen is their best pitcher in terms of thrown strikeouts (77), so it cannot be surprising to find out that he didn’t earn any runs in three of his last four appearances, including a tough game against the New York Yankees.
