Orioles vs Rays MLB Betting Preview, Picks
The Rays are set to host their divisional rival, the Baltimore Orioles, on Wednesday afternoon at Tropicana Field in Tampa.
Shane Baz will take the mound for the visiting Orioles, while Rays’ right-handed opener Jesse Scholtens will be on the bump for Tampa.
My analysis ahead of Wednesday’s divisional clash will be far more concise, as I plan to target Rays’ superstar third baseman in 22-year-old Junior Caminero.
Junior is on an absolute tear heading into Wednesday afternoon’s matchup and will have a very favorable matchup versus former Rays’ teammate in right-hander Shane Baz.
Given Caminero’s vast familiarity with Baz’ pitching-arsenal with the two having played on the same team for the past two seasons, I expect him to have an edge over Baz when the two square off on Wednesday.
Despite being a highly-touted prospect, Baz has failed to live up to the hype and currently posts a 5.26 ERA over his first nine outings in 2026.
Baz has shown prior vulnerability when matched up with left-handed hitters who boast heavy contact and hard-hit rate at the plate.
The first-year Oriole has been struggling with the command of his off-speed arsenal, which has resulted in Baz having to rely far more on his high-velocity pitches in the zone.
I expect Junior to continue his scorching form at the plate thus far and will be looking to back the Rays’ youngster to exceed his 1.5 HRR mark ahead of Wednesday’s clash.
Pick: Junior Caminero Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-158)
