Giants vs. Rays Prediction
The Giants are red-hot but are they a good bet to beat the Rays today at 4:10PM ET with a fill-in starter?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Rays are -119 money line favorites over the Giants after opening with -115 odds. With Albert Suarez, who once again is taking the spot of Matt Cain in the Giants’ rotation, facing Matt Moore in the pitching matchup, the total for today’s game currently sits at 8 runs.
Bet Today’s Giants vs. Rays Game
SAN FRANCISCO: The Giants are playing some outstanding ball of late. They’ve won 35 of their last 51 games overall, are 16-6 in their last 22 road games, and are 19-7 in their last 26 games when coming off a win. They’re also 12-3 in their last 15 road games when playing an opponent with a losing record.
TAMPA BAY: The Rays have been solid themselves despite losing last night to the Giants in the opener of the series. They’re 9-4 in their last 13 games overall and 7-3 in their last 10 games versus a right-handed starter. But they have struggled to beat teams from the National League West, dropping eight of 11 against that division.

OUR PREDICTION: Take the Rays, who are offered at a decent price despite the pitching matchup being in their favor. They’re 7-3 in Moore’s last 10 home starts, are 15-7 in his last 22 outings when their opponent scores five runs or more in its previous game, and 7-3 when he pitches Game 2 of a series. After they were dominated by Jeff Samardzija last night, Tampa Bay should do damage against Suarez today.
SATURDAY MLB PREDICTION: TAMPA BAY RAYS -119
