Lowe hits solo home run in loss
Brandon Lowe went 1-for-1 with a solo home run against the Phillies on Monday. Lowe’s home run was his 17th of the year.

He’s been a solid hitter when healthy, but has amassed only 319 at-bats this year due to injury. Lowe is hitting .250 with a .798 OPS and 50 RBI on the season.
Schwarber hits solo home run in win
Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Rays on Monday. Schwarber’s home run was his 34th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Tyler Alexander in the sixth inning. Schwarber has six home runs in his last seven games. He’s hitting .250 with an .859 OPS and 94 RBI on the year.

Rays vs. Phillies MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take the over. Philadelphia should take Bradley behind the woodshed tonight at Citizens Bank Park. Over his last five starts, Bradley is 1-4 with a 9.12 ERA. He’s allowed 6.8 hits per game, 5.4 runs per contest and a whopping eight home runs over that span. On the other side, Suarez is 2-3 with a 4.26 ERA over his last five starts. That’s not bad but as long as he allows a couple of runs, the over should cash tonight.
