(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Baltimore,
Money Line: 120.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
The Orioles have struggled against left-handed pitching this season. Baltimore is hitting .237 against southpaws and, taking a look at all American League teams, only the Astros (.233) have fared worse. That said, I look for the O's to struggle to connect against Matt Moore in this one. The Rays southpaw is in excellent current form with just 2 earned runs given up on only 8 hits while striking out 15 in the 13 innings of work spanning his last two starts. In Moore's last two starts against Baltimore he has held them to 3 earned runs on only 5 hits while striking out 18 in the 14 innings of work spanning those two outings. While Moore should dominate the Orioles here, look for Baltimore starter Yovanni Gallardo to continue to struggle. He has a 6.26 ERA in his 5 starts this season. The Rays have been on a losing streak but yesterday's day off did them some good and, with a huge edge on the mound tonight, they'll get back on track with a win on the road tonight. Play on the TB Rays as a small underdog.
