Philadelphia Phillies vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/11/24, 2:48 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

After losing to the Phillies 1-2 in Game 1, the Rays are hoping Bradley can finally help himself break the right-hander's 0-6 losing streak in his last 7 starts.

Like Game 1, the betting sites for Game 2 are predicting another low-run game and have set the Game Total line at 7.5 again. Despite the win, the Phillies only got 5 hits on Monday.

Harper and Schwarber continue to lead the Phillies, with Schwarber hitting very well recently as he is 12-for-42 with 3 doubles and 6 HRs in the last 10 games.

The Rays, meanwhile, are 5-5 in their last 10 games although they have a +15 run differential in that span. Diaz, for the Rays, has 27 doubles and 14 HRs, while Deluca is 13-for-36 with 2 HRs in the last 10 games.

Venezuelan Suarez will start for the Phillies with very good numbers in 2024 of 12-6 and an ERA of 2.90, he returned at the end of August after missing almost a month due to a lower back injury, since his return he had a ERA of 3.21 and the manager has not allowed him to pitch more than 5 innings so far.

Estevez, the Phillies closer, allowed the tying HR yesterday, which seemed more like an error by the CF than a HR, then he received a line drive in the leg that will probably keep him out for Tuesday's game.
