T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays.

I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. The Rays haven't looked good in their games lately, they have lost 4 games in a row now already losing this series but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. Their offense has looked really bad lately, not putting up a ton of runs in their games lately but they haven't been giving up too many runs either. I think they are going to pitch a good game here with their starter though, their bullpen has looked good lately and it has really been their starters that have been blowing their games lately. Drew Rasmussen (6-3, 3.13 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has looked really good in his starts lately. He hasn't had many bad starts this year where he gives up a ton of runs, and he hasn't had a start like that in 4 starts in a row now. He hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any of those starts and he was also really good in his 1 start against the Orioles this year. I expect him to shut down the Orioles offense here, which hasn't been great for a majority of the year, and I think he can get this game to the bullpen with a lead which I expect the bullpen to keep intact. Tyler Wells (7-6, 3.69 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he has looked great for the Orioles this year but has started to look a bit shaky in his starts lately, and I expect that shakiness to continue here. He gave up 5 runs in his most recent start and he didn't look great in July either, giving up 3+ runs in 3 starts in a row now. He pitched against the Rays in 1 of those starts too and gave up some early runs which ended losing them the game as he was charged with the loss. I think the Rays lineup will put up some runs on him here and I expect them to bounce back with a much better effort in this game and avoid getting swept here. I like the Rays to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Rays.
