Tampa Bay Rays Betting Preview
The Rays roared back from the All-Star break with a statement win, blasting four home runs in an 11-1 rout of Baltimore on Friday. Junior Caminero stole the show, hitting two bombs to bring his season total to 25, while Yandy Díaz’s grand slam and Danny Jansen’s solo shot highlighted a power-packed lineup.
Tampa Bay desperately needed the spark, as they stumbled into the break losing 11 of 14 games. Friday’s offensive outburst showed a team determined to reassert itself in the AL race. Manager Kevin Cash emphasized the importance of regaining confidence, and with home-field advantage at Tropicana Field, the Rays will look to keep momentum rolling.
Zack Littell (8-7, 3.56 ERA) will start for the Rays. He’s been solid recently, going 2-0 over his last four outings and allowing only three runs in his most recent win against Detroit. Littell has a strong track record against Baltimore, posting a 2.74 ERA across nine career appearances.
Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview
Baltimore enters Saturday on a skid, being outscored 28-2 over their last three games, including the beatdown Friday night. While Colton Cowser collected three hits and Gunnar Henderson scored the lone run, the Orioles’ bats have gone ice-cold at the worst time.
Dean Kremer (8-7, 4.24 ERA) takes the mound with the chance to right the ship. Kremer has been stellar against Tampa Bay, going 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA in two starts this season and 4-1 lifetime with a 1.91 ERA across nine appearances. He tossed seven scoreless innings against the Rays just a few weeks ago and will aim to replicate that success.
Manager Tony Mansolino insists the Orioles will bounce back, but the current lack of run support is concerning against a Rays team that just found its offensive groove.
Prediction:
This game sets up as a clash between Kremer’s dominance over Tampa Bay and the Rays’ reawakened bats. Littell’s consistency and home advantage may outweigh Baltimore’s current struggles, but expect a closer, lower-scoring game than Friday’s blowout.
Score Prediction: Rays 4, Orioles 3
Pick: Tampa Bay (-118)
Total: Under 9.0 (-110)
