Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles 6/17/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Tampa Bay Rays will go against the Baltimore Orioles in MLB action in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, MD, on Friday, June 17, 2022, at 6:05 PM ET.

Tampa Bay already struggled to keep up with New York’s blistering pace this season, so the Rays’ current four-game losing streak, which includes two defeats to the Yankees, will be difficult to overcome (heading into the series finale). They’re on the final leg of a nine-game road trip, which will end with a game at Camden Yards on Sunday.

In the American League East, Tampa Bay is currently 11 games behind New York, placing the Rays in third place. They are presently in second place in the AL Wild Card standings, two games ahead of Cleveland.

This year, the Rays underperformed at the plate, ranking 24th in team batting average (.232). With 61 hits, right fielder Randy Arozarena tops the club, while right fielder Manuel Margot has 52. They’ll be up against a Baltimore pitching club that ranks No. 23 in the league with a 4.37 ERA.

Shane Baz, a right-handed pitcher, is expected to start for Tampa Bay on Friday. After having elbow operations in spring training, he skipped the first two months of the season.

The Tampa Bay Rays are 1-5 SU in their previous 6 matches.
Tampa Bay is 16-2 SU in their last 18 matches against Baltimore.
The Rays are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches on the road.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles Predictions 6/17/2022

For most of the year, Baltimore was 10 games below.500, and it is hoping to avoid falling out of postseason contention before the All-Star break.

Last weekend, the Orioles divided a four-game series with Kansas City before losing two of their first three games this week in Toronto. After an eight-game road journey, they are now heading home.

The Baltimore Orioles are last in the AL East, trailing the New York Yankees by 20 games. The Orioles, on the other hand, are only 7.5 games out of the last AL Wild Card place.

They enter this series as one of baseball’s weakest offensive teams, with a team batting average of No. 26. (.231). Austin Hays, the left fielder, leads the team with 65 hits and 36 RBIs in what was a career season. Trey Mancini, the designated hitter, has 63 hits but is sidelined indefinitely due to a hand injury.

The Orioles will face a Tampa Bay pitching staff with a 3.18 ERA, which is the best in MLB. For Baltimore, right-handed pitcher Dean Kremer will get the start.

The total went OVER in 6 of Baltimore’s last 6 matches.
The Orioles are 4-2 SU in their previous 6 matches.
The total went UNDER in 6 of Baltimore’s last 9 matches against Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles. The MLB pick for this game is the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa Bay understands that if it wants to be in the playoff hunt, it must take care of business against the MLB’s bottom feeders.

After a difficult series against division-leading New York, the Rays will enter this series with a determined mindset. On Friday night, they also hold the advantage in the pitching battle.

Baz had some growing pains in his first start of the season, but there’s a reason he’s considered one of baseball’s best pitching prospects. Meanwhile, Kremer struggled in his first game, and I’m not optimistic about his chances in his third appearance of the season. The Tampa Bay Rays will win to a predicted score of 7-4.
