Saturday’s Padres vs Rays prediction shows clear moneyline value in one of Saturday’s most entertaining matchups.
We have an MLB moneyline model with a 61% win-rate. It only picks AL vs. NL games — just like Padres vs. Rays.
That’s exactly why there’s value. If we regress the win rate to, say, a 60% implied probability, that equates to a moneyline price around -150.
Saturday’s Padres vs. Rays odds list San Diego at -102 and Tampa Bay at -120. More or less, one of those moneyline sides is being undervalued.
There’s a strategic way to go about this. After laying the framework, let’s transition to the side that has usually been the right MLB prediction.
Padres vs Rays Prediction & Moneyline Pick for Saturday
The Padres are red-hot behind NL Rookie of the Year favorite Jackson Merrill. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, is just fighting to get above .500.
Due to both teams’ records and situation, our Average AL vs. NL Teams PRO System was flagged.
Historically, AL teams with a win percentage in the 47-53% range have won 61% of their games when hosting NL opponents. This trend shines especially midway through the season and highlights undervalued AL teams.

On Saturday, it’s a recommendation on the Rays moneyline behind starter Shane Baz.
Factoring in the implied probability of the trend (61%) and the Rays moneyline price for Saturday’s game, we have a nice value bet on Tampa Bay.
