MLB odds, picks, best bets

The Orioles and Rays proceed their battle for first place within the AL East once they cap off their four-game series Sunday.

On the mound for the O’s will likely be Tyler Wells (7-5, 3.54 ERA), with the Rays seeking to teenager Taj Bradley (5-6, 5.29 ERA). 

Wells is coming off a rough outing against the Dodgers, by which he allowed five runs over just two innings.

That start hasn’t been the norm for Wells this season, though.

In his prior nine outings, he gave up two runs or fewer seven times.

Rays vs. Orioles pick

(1:40 p.m. ET)

Certainly one of the 2 times he didn’t, nonetheless, got here against the Rays, when Wells allowed 4 runs in a 7-2 Tampa Bay win June 21. 

The Rays have lost Bradley’s past 4 starts, with the young righty giving up 18 runs over 17 ¹/₃ innings during that span.

A positive for Bradley entering this matchup is, one among his best performances this season got here against Baltimore.

He held the Birds to just one run in the identical June 21 game. 

I don’t expect Bradley to be as dominant now that Baltimore has already faced the 22-year-old.

Betting on Baseball?

One other thing to notice is the bullpens might be spent within the fourth game of a vital series, so each starters might want to eat up some innings.

That will likely be a challenge for Bradley, who has gone six innings only once in 14 starts. 

The Orioles had won 4 of six from the Rays heading into Saturday. I like Baltimore to proceed that recent success and take the series finale.
