Padres vs. Rays Best MLB Prop Bets

Rays Best MLB Prop Bet

Junior Caminero OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-137)

Junior Caminero extended his hitting streak to 10 games with back-to-back 2-for-4 performances in Detroit. He’s now 14 for 39 with four runs scored and five RBI during that span.

The Rays slugger has gone OVER 1.5 HRR in nine straight games and 14 of his last 16. I’ll back him to stay hot as he returns home.

Padres vs. Rays Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

It could very well be a pitcher’s duel down in Tampa Bay tonight with Casey Mize facing off against Shane McClanahan.

Both pitchers have been solid this season with ERAs under 3.50, and, more importantly, both of these offenses are struggling as of late.

The Padres scored just five runs in their three-game set against the Pirates, and held Pittsburgh to four runs in a low-scoring series.

Low-scoring games also seem to be the Rays’ forte, as they’ve gone UNDER the total in five straight games, scoring 13 runs in that span. In fact, they’ve scored just 17 runs in their last seven games.

Pick: UNDER 7.5 (-118)
