The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Athletics' last 13 games against Tampa Bay.
Will the Under hit again in Wednesday’s series finale?
The Athletics’ offense delivered in Tuesday’s 6-0 win over the Rays. Colby Thomas and Lawrence Butler each chipped in two RBIs, while Jacob Lopez dazzled again on the mound, blanking the Rays through seven innings with nine strikeouts. The A’s improved to 54-68 in the season.
After scoring seven runs in the series opener, the Rays offense was nowhere to be found on Tuesday as Lopez and the A’s bullpen dominated their batters. Tampa Bay is only averaging 3.2 runs per game on a .226 BA in their last five games. In their last 10 meetings against the Athletics, the Rays have averaged 3.20 runs per game.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Athletics Prediction
Gamble on the Under 9.5 runs.
The Rays are sending out right-handed pitcher Drew Rasmussen, who is 3-2 with a 2.01 ERA in his last five starts. Rasmussen has also blanked the last two teams he faced, while averaging 1.0 earned runs per game in his last five starts.
Rasmussen will duel against A’s J.T Ginn, who is 1-4 with a 4.44 ERA in his last 5. Ginn has never pitched against the Rays, but I don’t expect something spectacular from him since I expect Rasmussen to totally dominate him in their duel.
In the last three meetings between these two teams, they have combined for an average of 7.00 runs per game.
