Tampa Bay Rays vs Oakland Athletics 6/14/2023 Picks Predictions Previews
On Wednesday night in Oakland, the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland A’s will play game three of their four-game series.
With the Rays leading baseball with the greatest overall record and the rebuilding A’s with the lowest record in MLB, these two clubs are on polar different ends of the spectrum this season.
Right-handed Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow (1-0, 2.87) will face off against right-handed A’s pitcher Luis Medina (1-5, 7.53) on Wednesday night. The opening pitch is set at 9:40 p.m. Eastern Time.
The Tampa Bay Rays got off to the greatest start in franchise history the season, and they haven’t stopped since.
As they resume their four-game series against the Oakland A’s, they own the best record in the league, the best at home, and a commanding lead in the AL East.
However, the A’s defeated the Rays 4-3 on Monday night courtesy to a four-run fifth inning. Before the series, the Rays had won eight of their previous nine games.
The Rays collected 124 doubles and hit 113 baseballs out of the park together. Tampa Bay is slugging.472 with 581 strikeouts, 233 walks, and 581 runs batted in.
The Tampa Bay Rays are second in the league with 5.7 runs scored per game. In addition to 610 hits, they collected 377 RBIs, giving them a batting average of 0.263. They have 394 runs scored and an OBP of 0.338.
Right-hander Tyler Glasnow will start the Rays’ third game of the series. Glasnow recovered after missing the season’s first two months due to an IL stint. Glasnow had a 1-0 record and a 2.87 ERA in his first three starts.
In his first three starts, he had a WHIP of 1.09 and an 11.5 K/9 rate. Following Tommy John surgery, Glasnow also missed the entire previous season before making a comeback in the postseason.
