The Tampa Bay Rays are riding a six-game winning streak, and they're sizable -160 road favorites to extend that to seven games tonight.
While the Rays deserve to be favorites, my Rays vs. A's predictions and MLB picks see value in backing the home team to keep it close on Monday, Aug. 10.
Who will win Rays vs A’s tonight: Athletics +1.5 (-120)
Freddy Peralta has struggled to keep runners off the bases this season, posting a 1.52 WHIP to date. He has also allowed 1.46 home runs per nine innings, a number that’s soared to 2.60 over the past 30 days.
That is not a good formula taking on the Athletics in an extremely hitter-friendly environment — even with key bats like Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers sidelined.
Jacob Lopez has managed a solid 3.49 FIP over the last month while striking out 32.5% of opposing batters. He should help keep this close.
Bet to -131.
COVERS INTEL: Peralta ranks in the fifth percentile in Pitcher Run Value, a far cry from last season's 97th percentile finish
Rays vs A’s Over/Under pick: Under 10.0 (-110)
Lopez’s fly ball tendency is a concern in such favorable hitting conditions, but the Tampa Bay Rays aren’t in prime form to capitalize.
They own a .135 ISO against lefties the past month while ranking 22nd in hard-hit rate and 27th in fly-ball rate.
The Athletics have labored since Langeliers went down, ranking 29th in OBP and 25th in ISO. They’re not getting on base often, nor hitting for much power.
Betting an Under in this park is a scary proposition, but I make this total 9.6 runs and would bet it to -116.
Rays vs A’s home run prediction: Junior Caminero (+200)
Junior Caminero leads the Rays in average fly-ball distance by nearly 40 feet over the last 15 games while pacing the group in barrel rate at 13.6%.
That has only translated to two home runs, but Caminero generally doesn’t go quiet for very long.
Lopez has conceded 1.86 homers per nine innings to righties, a full home run more than he allows to lefties.
The fastball is his most-used pitch, and Caminero owns a .346 ISO against left-handed four-seams this season.
I'd take him to leave the yard down to +186.
