Rangers vs Rays Prediction, Betting Analysis
Jake Mangum of Tampa got the call-up back to the majors a few days ago, but early in the season, he was a hot hitter for this Rays lineup.
In 24 games and 84 plate appearances, Mangum posted 25 hits (.316 average), 10 RBI and a homer.
I love the under on his strikeout prop here, as he’s a very low-strikeout guy. He has a sub-10% strikeout percentage in 84 plate appearances this season (nine strikeouts total).
Trust Mangum to go under his hitter strikeouts prop at -125 on bet365.
Pick: Jake Mangum Under 0.5 Hitter Strikeouts (-125)
Moneyline
I don’t have a play on the moneyline for this AL clash.
Run Line (Spread)
I don’t have a play on the run line for Rangers vs. Rays.
Over/Under
I don’t have a play on the total, but I’m taking Jake Mangum under 0.5 hitter strikeouts at -125.
