He hasn’t pitched deeper than 5 innings in a game this season, and has lost 2 of his last 3 starts. Soriano has been great to start the season, and each team’s offense is pretty evenly matched.<\/p>\n PASS.<\/p>\n This matchup is too close to feel comfortable making a bet here. Although I favor Los Angeles, the Rays own the best record in the American League, and are more than capable of coming away with a win.<\/p>\n BET UNDER 8.5 (-120).<\/p>\n These teams have hit the Under in each of their last 2 matchups against each other. Tampa Bay has hit the Under in 6 of its last 7 games, and the Angels are 5-5 on the Over\/Under during their last 10.<\/p>\n Betting odds calculator<\/a><\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our editors independently choose our recommendations.
