- This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Thursday Runline Dominator. Of the 10 Tampa Bay 10 wins this season, it has covered the run line in eight of those and after the outright loss on Wednesday, the Rays have dropped three straight against the run line which presents a great opportunity today to have a margin win. Tampa Bay was unable to hold onto the lead on Wednesday as it gave up a pair of ninth innings run to fall to 10-9 overall and 6-7 at home but the series finale presents a great spot for the offense. Griffin Canning has gotten off to a poor start with a 9.88 ERA and 1.83 WHIP through his first three outings as he has allowed at least four earned runs in each of those starts while giving up five home runs in the process. The Angels have lost his last nine starts going back to last season, seven of which have been by more than one run. Ryan Pepiot has been hit hard in two of his three starts and ironically, his best outing was in Colorado where he did not allow a run over six innings. He has been a victim overall where he has allowed 10 runs but only 12 hits and five walks covering 16.2 innings for a 1.02 WHIP. 10* (956) Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 Runs
