widget-odds-mlb-su-11201-BAL-TB

The Rays are the favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. They have been strong at home and are coming off a convincing win in the series opener. With momentum on their side and a solid pitching rotation, the Rays are well-positioned to secure another victory. The Orioles' offense struggled in the previous game, and unless they can make significant adjustments, the Rays should have the edge.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Wander Franco Over 1.5 Total Bases (+130)

Franco has been a key contributor for the Rays and is coming off a strong performance in the series opener. His ability to make consistent contact and drive the ball makes this a solid pick, especially against an Orioles pitching staff that struggled in Game 1.

2. Shane McClanahan Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-110)

McClanahan is expected to start for the Rays and has been dominant on the mound this season. With the Orioles' offense struggling to generate runs, McClanahan should have plenty of opportunities to rack up strikeouts.

3. Adley Rutschman Over 0.5 RBIs (+150)

Rutschman remains a bright spot in the Orioles' lineup and is capable of driving in runs even in tough matchups. If the Orioles can get runners on base, Rutschman is a good bet to capitalize.
