Yandy Diaz paced the Rays offense as he was 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored. Brandon Lowe also had a major impact as he finished 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs and three RBIs. Travis d'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

MLB Betting Trends

Oakland

The Athletics are 10-3 in their last 13 road games. Oakland is 0-5 in its last five games on astroturf.

Tampa Bay

The Rays are 21-5 in their last 26 Monday games. Tampa Bay is 4-1 in its last five starts by Morton.

Prediction:

Morton's career renaissance over the last few seasons has been remarkable and he is pitching some of the best baseball of his life at the age of 35. With Oakland going with an unknown in Anderson, the Rays are huge favorites for good reason. Look for Morton to stay unblemished on the season as he should get plenty of run support from a Rays team that can punish inexperienced pitchers.
