Rays vs. Athletics Best MLB Prop Bets
Athletics Best MLB Prop Bet
- Tyler Soderstrom OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-126)
Tyler Soderstrom has turned it on in August, going 9 for 29 (.310) with three doubles, one triple, and two home runs. He’s scored six runs and driven in five through eight games.
Soderstrom has gone OVER 1.5 HRR in six straight games and seven of eight, including OVER 2.5 HRR in his last four contests. He’s also 2 for 6 against Peralta in his career, and he has a .911 OPS at home as opposed to .734 on the road.
Rays vs. Athletics Prediction and Pick
It’s tempting to fade Peralta and the Rays on the road, but even with a 30-28 road record, that’s much better than the A’s at home (21-36). These teams essentially have opposite records overall with the Rays at 71-46 and the A’s at 47-71.
I’ll go as far as taking the Rays on the run line tonight against the A’s. Tampa Bay is 22-11 vs. LHP, after all.
Pick: Rays -1.5 (+104)
