The Orioles are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. The Orioles were very hot going into the All-Star break and they came out just as hot. They have not been winning many games since coming out of the break but they have been playing very well, even in the games they have lost with some close scores. They have been a very good team at home this season and they are catching the Rays at a good time here since they have not been playing well recently. The Rays have lost 3 straight games, and 2 of those losses were against the Royals who have been awful all season, but they lost those games on the road. They also lost the first game of this series and the Orioles will have some revenge in mind here since the Rays were the team that snapped their 10 game win streak right before the break. The Orioles have been hitting very well in their games and they will score runs on Rasmussen here who has been good but still allows runs consistently in his starts. The Rays bullpen has also been slipping up recently and the Orioles will take advantage of that here. The Rays have not had a good offense all season but it has been very bad recently as they have not been scoring many runs. Wells has been very good for the Orioles this season and he will be looking to bounce back at home here after a bad start in his last. The Orioles have the better offense and they are at home here. They have also been scoring a lot more runs than the Rays recently and there offense will be the difference here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

"Early on, we got some guys on base, and when you do that, you've got to find ways to make contact, get the ball to the outfield, score some runs. We did not, and then their bullpen kind of got on a run where there wasn't many opportunities after the first couple innings." - Kevin Cash after his team’s loss against the Orioles on Monday.

 

 

"Tonight, they were so good. They put six zeros up. It's absolutely outstanding." - Brandon Hyde after his team’s win against the Rays on Monday.
