Shane McClanahan has allowed one earned run or fewer in six of his eleven starts since returning from a two-year absence, and he heads into today carrying a 2.45 ERA with a .184 opponent batting average and his best command of the season. Miami counters with Lake Bachar — a right-hander who has worked primarily out of the bullpen in 2026, now making a spot start for a team sitting at 26-34 near the bottom of the NL East. The Marlins' offense has been one of the quietest in the division all year. McClanahan's job this afternoon is straightforward: hold down a lineup that has already made this easy. That's the ML case. The UNDER lives in the same place — not because Tampa Bay won't score, but because Miami's half of this game is the quiet half. Back Tampa Bay and play the UNDER.

Tampa Bay at Miami
7:10 PM Eastern
Tampa Bay dropped four of five heading in, including getting swept out of Detroit, which explains why a 36-23 team is priced around a coin flip to beat a Marlins club sitting at 29-34. The reasoning flips when you look at the mound. Drew Rasmussen is 4-2 with a 3.36 ERA and has been particularly dominant against this opponent in his career: 3-0 with a 2.30 ERA in his appearances against Miami. On the other side, Ryan Gusto has produced a 9.00 ERA in three major league innings — a sample so thin this is functionally a bullpen game with a placeholder on top. The Rays' recent skid is real, but it's not Rasmussen's doing. Back the Rays to get right tonight.
