The Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox will have a doubleheader this Saturday from Tropicana Field.

Rays Betting Preview

Tampa Bay comes in at 40-18 after dropping two of three to Chicago. The Rays avoid closing May with a sweep by taking Game three, and they’ll look for better results in AL East play this week. The Tampa offense is scoring 5.13 runs per Game, while batting .271, with a .346 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.71 ERA, with a 1.21 WHIP. Yandy Diaz recorded multiple hits in two of three Games against the Dodgers, and he leads Tampa in batting (.325) and runs scored (37). Randy Arozarena had a strong series against Toronto last week, and he leads the team in RBI (39). Josh Lowe has collected a hit in eight of the last ten Games, and he’s posting nice splits of .304/11/36. Isaac Paredes nearly completed the cycle in the Game three win over LAD, and after producing a run in four of the last five Games, he’s up to 33 RBI.

Trevor Kelley (0-1, 4.91 ERA, 6 Ks) will open the Game for Tampa. The fourth-year pitcher has made eight appearances this season, delivering shutout ball in four of his last five outings.

Red Sox Betting Preview

Boston moved to 29-27 after dropping two of three to Cincinnati. The Red Sox were nearly embarrassed by the Reds at Fenway, but a strong series finale saved them some trouble. The Boston offense is 4.76 scoring runs per Game, while batting .258, with a .340 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.89 ERA, with a 1.34 WHIP. Alex Verdugo has multiple hits in two of his last three Games, but he still leads the team in hits (53) and runs (37). Rafael Devers was also quiet in Anaheim, and he still leads the Sox in HR (13) and RBI (44). Masataka Yoshida has collected a hit in eight of the last ten Games, and he’s posting solid splits of .299/6/29.

Garrett Whitlock (2-2, 5.14 ERA, 15 Ks) will get the ball for Boston. The third-year pitcher earned his second victory of the season last week in the desert, containing Arizona to one run through five full innings of work. Whitlock has won his lone start at Fenway this season, striking out five over seven full innings against Anaheim.

Tampa Bay vs Boston Trends

Tampa is 22-32 against the spread this season, with a 31-20-3 O/U record. Boston is 21-35 ATS this year, with a 30-23-3 over/under record.

Corey’s Free Pick G1

With game one set to be a bullpen day for the Rays, it may end up reflecting for both teams on the scoreboard. Both Tampa and Boston have talented lineups, and after both struggling in their last series’ respectively, look for some fireworks in game one. Back the Over for the contest.

Corey’s Free Pick G2

Tampa’s set to send Tyler Glasnow to the mound, in what will mark his second outing and first road start of the season. I think that smells like trouble for Tampa at Fenway, and Glasnow may end up surrendering a few runs, allowing Boston to stick around and keep things close. The host may end up pulling it off, but spot the Sox the runs for safety in Game two.
