Tampa Bay Rays vs San Diego Padres: Robbie Ray Under 2.5 Pitcher - Walks (-175)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The Tampa Bay Rays have been strong at home this season, winning 45 of their 68 games. They face the San Diego Padres, who have struggled on the road. The Rays' pitcher, Robbie Ray, has been good at limiting walks recently, averaging just 0.3 strikeouts per game over his last three outings. This shows he's been efficient in getting batters out without giving away free passes.
Betting on Robbie Ray to have under 2.5 walks seems smart, especially since the Padres also struggle to get on base against left-handed pitchers. The biggest risk here is how well the Padres can adjust to Ray's pitching, as they also share a similar OPS against lefties. But given the Rays' home record and Ray's recent form, this pick looks promising.
