Stephen Nover's MLB Total of the Week
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Seattle,
Total: 6.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Win
Shane McClanahan and lefty Robbie Ray are big strikeout pitchers. But this total is too low especially with the bullpens expected to pitch at least one-third of the way.

The Rays have a top-10 offense. They have scored 19 runs in their last three games. The Over is 7-1-1 the last nine times the Rays have faced a lefty starter.

The Mariners scored just two runs in getting swept three games by the Astros.

Seattle, though, was hitting into tough luck. The Mariners hitters were working the count well to set up positive situations, but a number of their hard hit balls against the Astros were right at fielder's. I expect their luck to change for the better here.
