Rays vs. Blue Jays betting picks and predictions
Tampa Bay Rays ML (-115)
Tampa Bay enters this game with a record of 57-42 - one of the best in the entire league - and are currently in first place in the American League East division by a slim margin over the New York Yankees.
Tampa is coming off a comfortable win in Game 1 of this series, beating Toronto on Monday by a score of 7-1. Set to start Game 2 for the Rays will be Drew Rasmussen, who has a record of 7-5 and an ERA of 3.26.
The good news for Tampa is that Rasmussen has been much stronger when pitching on the road this season, having posted an ERA of 3.02. He has made nine away starts, in which he has allowed 19 runs (17 earned) over 50.2 innings.
Monday’s loss has seen Toronto fall to 46-54, leaving them in last place in the AL East. The Blue Jays are scheduled to start Kevin Gausman in Game 2, who has a record of 4-8 and an ERA of 4.33.
The Rays are now 6-1 straight up against the Blue Jays this season following the Game 1 win and given they have a more consistent offense, they look capable of picking up another victory.
Junior Caminero to Hit a Home Run (+235)
Junior Caminero has been the best player for the Rays this season. Not only is he hitting .280, but he has also hit a team-high 29 home runs, leaving him tied fourth in the MLB.
Caminero has especially had success against right-handed pitching, to which he has hit 22 of his 29 home runs and is what he will be facing in this game with Gausman on the mound for Toronto.
Further, Caminero has hit 12 of his 29 home runs on the road this season and in July, has hit six home runs in 17 games.
On top of that, Caminero is hitting .296 against the Blue Jays this season, and while he has yet to homer against them this term, Gausman has allowed 15 home runs, 10 of which have come when he is pitching at home.
