Trends
The Brewers are 9-4 in their last 13 Saturday games and 2-8 in their last 10 road games. The Rays are 39-13 in their last 52 home games and 33-13 in their last 46 overall. The over is 6-1 in Rays last 7 overall. The Brewers are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Tampa Bay and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The Milwaukee Brewers offense continues to come up small, and they've had zero recent road success. The Tampa Bay Rays have been the most trustworthy tram in the sport up to this point, and Zach Eflin has been strong through 40 innings. No reason to bet against the Rays at this point. I'll lay the RL to shave down the expensive juice.
