Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Félix Bautista pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts on Saturday in a 6-5 win over the Rays on Wednesday. The 28-year-old reliever was called upon to protect a one-run lead against the Rays. He struck out two and didn’t allow a hit as the Orioles took over the AL East lead on Saturday. He has a microscopic 0.94 ERA and has converted 27 of his 32 save chances this season.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Wander Franco went 1-for-4 with two RBI in a tough 6-5 loss to the Orioles on Saturday. The Rays couldn’t do much against Orioles starter Grayson Rodriguez, that was until the sixth inning. After a walk and double, Franco connected with an 84 MPH changeup from the young right-hander, which drove in two runs. Sadly, it wasn’t enough, as the Rays took another loss on Saturday. After starting the season white-hot, the Rays have struggled in July and were hitting .213/.274/.375 prior to Saturday’s contest.

Orioles vs. Rays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Even though the Rays have slumped offensively over the past month, I like the over today in Tampa. Tyler Wells allowed five runs on six hits in a season-low two innings of a 10-3 rout by the Dodgers in his last outing on Tuesday. He’s now surrendered 22 home runs in 19 appearances this season that span 18 starts. He faced this same Rays team on June 21 in Tampa and allowed four runs (Two earned) on four hits in Tampa’s 7-2 victory. On the other side, Taj Bradley will take the hill for the Rays and he hasn’t won a game since June 21 – that same game in which Tampa beat Baltimore, 7-2. He’s 0-3 in his past four starts and will face a dangerous Orioles lineup today.
