Pick
I’m backing the over here. I look for the Rays to get to Lance Lynn in a major way here and to take out the ugly stick to beat him with it. On the other side, the Rays bullpen hasn’t been as sharp as it’s been in past seasons and the White Sox still have some talented bats in the lineup as well. I think this total is just too low. Give me the over here.
