Free Betting Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -132
The Rays are playing decent and even with some of their recent struggles the Rays are putting Chirino on the mound and he has done really well for the team so far. That is going to help shut down the Rangers offense, but Lynn will do the same for the Rangers. Which makes this game one that goes down to hitting, and with Pence injured it removes the edge the Rangers would have had. Final Score, Tampa Bay Rays win 5-3.
