Tampa Bay Rays vs Washington Nationals. The MLB pick for this game is the Tampa Bay Rays. He can set the Rays’ tone towards the top of their order, and with Arozarena also contributing, this Rays club will be difficult for Tampa Bay to defeat this year.

The Rays are traveling for the first time this year, but they only scored six fewer runs away from home last year. They should generate enough to win this game.

Washington just ended a seven-game losing run that has been going on since last season, but they will start a new losing streak on Monday.

This Nationals club lacks the depth necessary to contend with MLB’s best teams. The Tampa Bay Rays will win to a predicted score of 7-5.
