Tampa Bay at Las Vegas

Tampa Bay isn't going to win them all. Actually, they haven't won any on this seven-game road trip out West, losing the first two at Oakland, 4-3 and 2-1. The Rays are 28-38 on the road against AL opponents with a team batting average of .255 or less, plus 10-18 away from home versus teams with bullpen ERAs of 4.20 or worse. They've also lost five of the last seven versus the AL West. Oakland plays its third straight home game riding an eight-game winning streak. They're 13-1 at home after having won six or seven of their last eight. MLB home teams like the A's that average 2.75 or fewer extra-base hits per game are 41-17 after back-to-back one-run victories. With Tampa Bay 41-51 on the road against righty starters, back the red-hot home dog. Play Oakland.
