Orioles vs Rays Pick, Betting Analysis
Shane McClanahan is back from a brief IL stint. After throwing three innings in the bigs on July 30th, he got hurt and went on the shelf. Twelve days later, he threw three frames in Triple-A, and now he rejoins the Rays' rotation as they keep pushing for a division crown.
The Rays are notoriously cautious with their pitchers, and the kid gloves will definitely be on for Shane tonight. He threw just 30 pitches in that rehab outing, so we’re looking at a 40–50 pitch cap max against Baltimore. In my opinion, there’s no chance they let him see the fifth inning — no matter how well he’s rolling.
And yet, his outs line is sitting at 12.5. Go grab this one while you can!
