Tampa Bay has fallen to -12.5 games out in the AL East, and their only path is as a wild card, but they have a lot of work to do. The Rays have played better, and it is because of the pitching. Tampa Bay pitchers have only allowed one team to score more than four runs against them in their last seven games. Tampa Bay is 10-2 to the UNDER on the road to a total of 9 or 9.5. The Athletics have put up a lot of low-scoring games in the second half of the season, going 9-4 UNDER at home. I like the UNDER.
