Money Line: -105.00 San Francisco (Away)
Result: Win
San Francisco at Tampa Bay 4:10 ET
Giants over Rays- Run production for Tampa Bay starts with Yandy Diaz in the leadoff spot. It’s been a slow start for Diaz, who’s hitting .196 through 14 games, though he does have 10 RBI. Still, this feels like a mini dip in form for a hitter who posted a .330 batting average with 35 doubles and 22 home runs in 2023. The Rays will start Ryan Pepiot, who they acquired in the trade that sent Tyler Glasnow to the Dodgers. He’s only got 12 career starts under his belt, but he delivered a lights-out performance against the Colorado Rockies last weekend, with six shutout innings and 11 strikeouts. Nothing has come easily this month for the Tampa Bay Rays, with their last five wins coming by two runs or fewer. The Giants fell to 5-9 and they turn to Logan Webb (0-1, 4.86 ERA) today in a showdown that the latest MLB odds have as a coin flip. Take SAN FRANCISCO!
