Rays vs Brewers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Rays listed as an underdog in this game. The Rays have been playing well in their recent games as they have put together a little streak and are winning more games now. Their offense still has not been great, but they are scoring more runs now and their pitching is good enough to keep other teams from scoring a lot as well. The Brewers have been awful in their recent games as they have been losing a lot and even had the Cardinals have passed them in the standings now. The Brewers are trending in the wrong direction now and they are getting a Rays team that has been gaining some steam recently. The Rays will be able to shut the Brewers offense down here as they have not been scoring a lot in recent games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rays to win this game.

Notable Quotes

 
"When you go up there in the ninth inning of a scoreless game, your first impulse is to do something big.

That turned into a fun inning." - Kevin Cash after his team’s win against the Tigers on Sunday.
 
 
" I thought he pitched great. I thought he was really, really good today. He gave us six strong innings." - Craig Counsell after his team’s loss against the Reds on Sunday.
