Rangers vs Rays Prediction, Betting Analysis
Jake Burger (.218 AVG, 7 HR, 23 RBI) has been better recently after a rough start to the season, and this spot is great.
Opposing pitcher Shane Baz has been absolutely crushed by righty power this season, with a HR/9 over 2.00 and a high fly-ball rate and hard-contact rate.
The weather in Tampa should be good for hitting, with high humidity, temps in the high-70s and winds blowing out to left field.
I have the true odds here around +425, making this a great bet, so back Burger to go yard.
Pick: Jake Burger Over 0.5 Home Runs (+500)
Moneyline
I don’t have a play on the moneyline.
Run Line (Spread)
I don’t have a play on the run line.
Over/Under
I don’t have a total play, but I like Jake Burger over 0.5 home runs (+500).
