Rays vs Rangers Prediction

The Rangers have won four games since May 18 as the offense picks and chooses when to show up. Rocker has been awful this season, allowing 30 hits and 18 earned runs in 20 innings. It doesn’t help that Rocker will pitch for the first time since April after battling a shoulder injury. Baz hasn’t been much better, as he’s given up 41 hits and 25 runs in his last 31 innings. However, the Rays are quietly playing winning baseball, and their offense has stepped up during this winning stretch to where they could overcome some pitching hiccups. The price isn’t crazy. Give me the Rays.
