Baltimore Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays Series: Thursday, July 20th to Sunday, July 23rd, 2023

 

Four-Game Series: Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays

Baltimore – Kyle Gibson vs Tampa Bay – Tyler Glasnow

Thursday, July 20 at6:40 pm ET

Glasnow and the Rays are -188 favorites over the +151 Baltimore Orioles. The O’s have won 9-of-12. The 2 losses came versus the Dodgers.

Gibson’s away ERA is better than his overall ERA, 4.21 compared to 4.77. Glasnow’s home ERA is worse than his overall ERA. So the value is on the Orioles.

Baltimore – Kyle Bradish vs Tampa Bay – Zach Eflin

Friday, July 21 at 6:40 pm ET

The Orioles are legit. Bradish is another one of those O’s flame throwers who posts a better road ERA. If you can win on the road, you’re doing something right.

Eflin, though, dominates on his mound. When Zach throws from Tampa’s hill, he’s close to unhittable. The ERA is a decent 2.34. The Rays respond to Eflin on the mound at Tropicana. Zach has a 9-1 home record this season. Rays roll.

Baltimore – Grayson Rodriguez vs Tampa Bay – Shane McClanahan

Saturday, July 22 4:10 pm ET

This could be a Baltimore throwaway matchup. Rodriguez is 2-2 with a 7.33 ERA. Shane McClanahan is working on a Cy Young bid.

McClanahan is 11-1 with a 2.56 ERA. Shane has a 1.86 ERA at home. The WHIP is 1.13. In his last, McClanahan threw well, yielding 2 earned runs off 3 hits. But the Rays lost to Texas 3-2.

The Rangers sent Dave Dunning to the mound and he was brilliant. Rodriguez isn’t the same starter as Dunning. TB is going to be a massive favorite on the money line. So consider laying the runs in this matchup.

Baltimore – Tyler Wells vs. Tampa Bay – Taj Bradley

Sunday, July 23 1:40 pm ET

The Orioles are loaded with starters that, for some reason, perform better on opposing mounds. Tyler Wells is another. Wells is 3-1 in away games.

The ERA is a decent 3.88 and Wells has 44 strikeouts away. For sure, Tyler can get it done against Tampa on Sunday.

Taj Bradley, the Rays listed starter, is 3-3 at home with a 5.97 ERA. Baltimore takes this game because they have an underrated starting staff and average close to 5 runs a game. The O’s could get 7 to 8 scores versus Bradley.
