MIKE LUNDIN'S RAYS @ TIGERS FREE PICK
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Detroit, 06/04/2019 3:10 PM, Score: 6 - 9
Point Spread: -1.50 | -151.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
The Tampa Bay Rays had won six straight games before suffering three losses to Minnesota over the weekend.

"There's going to be good series and bad series," Rays catcher Mike Zunino told MLB.com. "Obviously (the Twins) are one of the best clubs in baseball. We're getting some guys healthy coming back. All we've got to do is take this off-day (on Monday), reset and get ready for Detroit."

I expect the Rays to be well motivated for this one and looking to take full advantage of a Detroit Tigers side who's 22-34 record is among the worst in baseball.

Left-hander Blake Snell (3-4, 3.06 ERA) will take the ball for Tampa Bay. He tossed six innings of two-run ball against Toronto last time out and has four quality starts in his last five outings. During that stretch, Snell has 42 strikeouts against just six walks over 30 1/3 innings of work. Snell has the current Tigers roster limited to three hits over 20 at-bats.

The Tigers counter with 28-year-old southpaw Ryan Carpenter (0-2, 7.58 ERA) for his fifth start of the season. Carpenter has served up six homers in his 19 innings on the mound.

This will be the second time this season the Rays close as a road favorite of -200 or more; the first game, back on May 3, they beat the Orioles 7-0 and a similar scoreline tonight would not surprise me.

Free pick on Tampa Bay Rays -1.5.
