Tampa Bay had a huge start to the season, but hit a slump that allowed the surging Baltimore Orioles to overtake them. The Rays have managed a recovery and are 12-4 in their last 16, making a pennant drive as they trail the Orioles by a slender 2.5 games. Tampa easily won the opener of this series in Miami, 11-2, and looks to leave town with a two-game sweep. The Marlins have been awful since the All-Star break as they are 13-27, and opponents own a +30.5% ROI against them since the break. Make the play on Tampa Bay.

Premium Picks
Tampa Bay at Miami
The Tampa Bay Rays raced out to a 14-0 start and held the division lead for a long time. They have slipped and they now trail Baltimore by 2.5 games in the AL East. They lost their top starter for the season, and the pitching staff has been weakened by his absence as the Rays allow just shy of five runs per game over their last 17 games. The young Marlins remain in contention for a wild card in the NL, trailing Arizona by 2.5 games for the final spot. The Marlins' road struggles have been with them all season where they are just 28-36. They are a stronger home team at 38-29, and Miami is 29-17 as a home favorite. The Rays are just 5-12 as a road dog this season. Make the play on Miami.
