Tampa Bay Rays (Rasmussen) @ New York Yankees (Montas)
(NYY ML (-103)- The Rays are currently 4.5 games behind the Yankees in the AL East and tonight is the first game of a three game series in New York between these two teams. Last week Tampa won 2/3 games at home. Frankie Montas had his best start to date for the Yankees last week against the Rays going 5 scoreless innings with 1 hit, 0 walks and 7 strikeouts. Drew Rasmussen has pitched well for the Rays this year with a 9-4 record and 2.70 ERA over 116 innings. Both of these teams also have good bullpens, the Yankees have the 2nd best bullpen ERA in baseball with a 2.96 team bullpen ERA and the Rays are 7th with a 3.23 team bullpen ERA. This should be a close series but im betting on Montas and the Yankees to repeat their success and going with the NYY ML -103 tonight.
Atlanta Braves (Morton) @ Seattle Mariners (Ray)
SEA ML (+102)- The Braves are chasing the Mets for first place in the NL East and have picked up 2 games on them over the last 10 games to shorten the gap to a half of a game. Robbie Ray is coming off a great start in Cleveland where he pitched 6 scoreless and also had a 1.64 ERA over 5 starts in August. Charlie Morton has been solid this year with a 4.01 ERA over 146 innings this year and a K/9 just below 11. This is a big series for the Mariners as they look to maintain their current position as a Wild Card team with teams like the Orioles, Twins and White Sox on the outside looking in. Tonight I’m betting on Ray to continue to pitch well and going with the value of the SEA ML +102 tonight.
