Los Angeles Angels vs Tampa Bay Rays Predictions 8/25/2022

 

At the All-Star break, Tampa Bay was 10 matches over.500, but it dropped 12 of its first 19 games to start the second half of the season.

 

But over the past two weeks, the Rays were strong, sweeping three consecutive series against the Royals, Yankees, and Orioles. They did not drop back-to-back games since August 12 and defeated the Angels on Tuesday with a commanding 11-1 victory.

 

Thursday afternoon sees the conclusion of an eight-game homestand for Tampa Bay. Due to New York’s recent struggles, the Rays’ AL East gap was reduced to only eight games. They continue to maintain the top AL Wild Card berth as well.

 

Drew Rasmussen, a right-handed pitcher, will make his Tampa Bay debut on Thursday. Last Saturday against the Royals, he pitched for 5.2 innings while giving up two runs on two hits and one walk.

 

Rasmussen had a great season at home, pitching 58.2 innings with a 1.99 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. In his previous two games, he came within three outs of pitching a perfect game; the only hit he let up was a double in the ninth inning.

 

  • The Tampa Bay Rays are 5-0 SU in their last 5 matches. 
  • Tampa Bay is 8-1 SU in their previous 9 contests at home. 
  • The Rays are 6-1 SU in their last 7 matches at home over the Los Angeles Angels.

Los Angeles Angels vs Tampa Bay Rays. The MLB pick for this game is the Tampa Bay Rays. When handicapping an MLB game, this is about as straightforward a selection as you’re going to find.

 

These clubs are moving in very opposite ways, especially when looking at their splits between home and away games. While Tampa Bay won seven of its previous eight home games, Los Angeles only managed one victory in its last eight contests.

 

Additionally, the Rays prevailed in four of their previous five home contests with the Angels. This season, Rasmussen was virtually impenetrable for Tampa Bay, and his past three starts saw him at the top of his game.

 

In terms of offense, the Angels now provide the Rays more to work with. The Tampa Bay Rays will win to a predicted score of 3-1.
