The Tampa Bay Rays are hoping for a second win in the series against the Seattle Mariners tonight at Tropicana Field.

Betting Trends

The Rays are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games overall, 6-1 SU in the last 7 home games against Seattle, and 7-13 SU in their last 20 games against teams from the AL. Tampa Bay has played under the total run line in 4 of their last 6 games overall, 4 of their last 5 home games, and 4 of their last 5 games against teams from the AL West. The Mariners are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games overall and 6-12 SU in their last 18 games playing against teams from the AL East. Seattle has played over the total run line in 5 of their last 7 games overall, 8 of the last 10 games on the road, and 4 of the last 6 games against teams from the AL.

 

Prediction and Conclusion

These two teams are only six wins away, but that makes a complete difference in their division standings and in their playoff chances. The Rays won the opener last night by 4-3, turning the game around with a three-run eighth inning. That was a fourth consecutive win for the Rays against the Mariners. Seattle will try to end that with Luis Castillo on the mound, who is 6-8 for the season with a 3.63 ERA, 96K, 94.1 IP, and 1.19 WHIP. The Rays will start Zack Littell, who is 2-5 for the season with a 4.20 ERA, 76 K, 81.1 IP, and 1.38 WHIP. None of the pitchers will make a huge difference, but the Mariners have the better overall roster and will bounce back after dropping the game last night.
