Twins vs Rays Prediction, Betting Analysis
By: Will Priester
In the rubber game of this series, the Twins send Pablo Lopez (4-2 overall, 2.31 ERA) to the hill to face Drew Rasmussen of the Rays (3-4, 2.60 ERA).
But this play focuses on Lopez, in particular.
He’s once again been pretty steady this season in the strikeout department, as he has a 26.6% strikeout rate and has been pretty consistent.
There are enough strikeouts available in this Tampa Bay lineup for him to clear this number, and I believe he does just that this afternoon.
Thus, let’s back Lopez to go over his strikeout total at -135.
Pick: Pablo Lopez Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-135)
Moneyline
There’s no play on the moneyline for this matchup.
Run Line (Spread)
There’s also no play on the run line for this affair.
Over/Under
The play focuses on a player prop: Pablo Lopez to go over 5.5 strikeouts at -135.
