Game Prediction, Analysis and Breakdown

 

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Oakland Athletics

 

Tommy D. back with online sports bet, America’s favorite sports information channel.

It’s Sunday, May 9, the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Oakland Athletics Pick and Predictions report.

This game starts at 4:07 PM EST tonight at O.co Coliseum in Oakland, California, where the Rays and Athletics face off for the seventh time this season.

 

Rays’ positive run snapped in Oakland

 

The Tampa Bay Rays (18-16) were on a five-game winning streak and were looking for the sixth win in a row for the first time this season, but the A’s got a narrow 2-1 win. Tampa recorded only three hits, while their lone run came late in the 8th inning.

Shane McClanahan (0-0) is getting his third start of the season after not allowing a run in the win over the Los Angeles Angels in his previous start. The 24-year-old rookie has a 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and ten strikeouts in 8.0 innings.

 

Seth Brown got a walk-off homer to beat Tampa

 

The Oakland Athletics (20-14) have the third-best record in the MLB. After allowing 19 runs in two losses to the Toronto Blue Jays, the A’s responded with a tight 2-1 home victory over the Rays, thanks to Seth Brown, who recorded a walk-off home run.

Cole Irvin (3-3) will be on the mound for the seventh time this year. Following a turbulent start of the season and eight runs allowed in the first two games, Irvin settled and let in only four runs in the next four starts. At the moment, the 27-year-old lefty has a 3.09 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 34 strikeouts over 35.0 innings. His improvement is one of the reasons for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Oakland Athletics Odds to be slightly on the home team’s side.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Oakland Athletics Pick

 

I am going against the betting trends in this one. Namely, seven of the previous ten H2H encounters were low-scoring and went UNDER, but this time around, I expect to see a lot more from the batters. We’re dealing with rather inexperienced starting pitchers, and although Irvin had a couple of strong starts lately, I don’t think he will handle the Rays’ batters on Sunday. My Rays vs. Athletics prediction is OVER.
