Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays Predictions
The Baltimore Orioles and a cheap price has to be one of the better plays on the MLB card on Saturday. Not only are the Orioles a better team playing better, but they have the best pitcher in the business on the mound in Corbin Burnes. The Tampa Bay Rays have been a mess offensively since trading away key hitters and releasing Drew Rasmussen, who has only pitched two innings this season. Why is this line so cheap? Anyway, Orioles please.
