Rays vs Phillies MLB Betting Preview
This is another gross weather spot. Winds are blowing straight in and there's some rain in the forecast.
Cristopher Sanchez has had a few blips recently, mostly due to allowing a few more HRs than usual.
It's going to be tough to get one out at Citizens Bank Park tonight. Tampa Bay is 25th in OPS and 26th in wOBA vs. lefties since the start of August.
The Rays fixed Freddy Peralta. He's allowed 3 ERs in his last 5 starts.
It took a bit, but the pitch mix and location adjustments with Tampa Bay have led to tremendous results.
Peralta faces a Philly lineup that ranks dead last in wRC+ vs. righties over the past 30 days.
Pick: F5 Under 3.5 (-118)
