Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles Prediction
The Rays have not been playing like a last place team as of late and in winning four of their last five games all of the wins have come against AL East teams that are in the playoff race. They had lost seven straight games against the Orioles in Baltimore before their win yesterday. Archer, who is 3-6 with a 4.52 ERA in his career facing the Orioles, has the most losses in the Majors, but ranks 4th in the AL in strikeouts and has been pitching well as of late. In losing his last two starts Tampa Bay has only totaled four runs, but their offense has been getting it done at the plate in their three game win streak and they will give Archer some run support tonight extending their streak with another win tonight.
