The Rays are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. With a superior pitching staff and a more consistent offense, Tampa Bay is well-positioned to cover the -1.5 spread.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Wander Franco Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

Franco has been a key contributor for the Rays, and his ability to hit for extra bases makes this prop appealing. Facing an Athletics pitching staff that has struggled to contain opposing hitters, Franco is in a prime spot to exceed this line.

2. Shane McClanahan Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-110)

McClanahan has been dominant on the mound, and the Athletics' lineup has one of the highest strikeout rates in the league. Expect McClanahan to take advantage of this matchup and rack up the strikeouts.

3. Brent Rooker Under 0.5 Hits (+150)
