The Rays have played things safe with McClanahan this season, as the star lefty has thrown more than five innings in just two of his nine starts. McClanahan threw 90 pitches for the second time all season in his last outing \u2013 which was against Baltimore \u2013 but he only made it through five frames.<\/p>\n
The lefty has only allowed 30 hits in 44.2 innings of work, but the Rays clearly want to make sure he\u2019s healthy for the long haul rather than putting him into big workloads from the jump. He\u2019s maxed out at 90 pitches in 2026, and he has four starts where he was pulled before reaching 80 pitches.<\/p>\n
So, I wouldn\u2019t be shocked if he only works five innings \u2013 or less \u2013 for the eighth time in 10 outings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rays vs. Orioles Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay is by far the better offensive team in this matchup, ranking 10th in runs scored, eighth in OPS and second in batting average while the Orioles are 15th or worse (including 22nd in batting average) in each of those categories.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a major concern when looking at this pitching matchup since McClanahan has led the Rays to a 7-2 record in 2026 while posting a respectable expected ERA of 3.42.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradish has an expected ERA of 4.07, but the O\u2019s are just 3-7 in his 10 starts. Baltimore has scored four or fewer runs in six of the 10 outings by Bradish this season, really limiting the team\u2019s ceiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though the O\u2019s are over .500 at home, the Rays have a better record (15-11) on the road in the 2026 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I lean with Tampa Bay, as it won 16-6 in McClanahan\u2019s last start against the O\u2019s even though he gave up four runs in five innings. Bradish allowed two runs in a 4-1 loss to the Rays his last time out, and the Baltimore bullpen (4.66 ERA) is worse than Tampa Bay (4.38 ERA) so far in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
