Rays vs Angels Prediction
The Rays are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Angels and have won two of their last three visits in Los Angeles.
In this Rays vs Angels Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Rays have been mediocre on the road and are facing an Angels team that has won its last three games and are putting Soriano on the mound, who started the season as a Cy Young candidate but has been struggling since. Still, I trust him more than Griffin Jax and his 4.15 ERA and 1.41 WHIP and since the Rays lost yesterday with McClanahan, I don’t expect them to do so today with Jax against Soriano. Take the Angels in this one.
