Baltimore lost its 14th in a row on Monday when Brett Phillips had an inside-the-park home run and Brandon Lowe hit two homers as the Rays won 9-2. Look for more of the same tonight with Drew Rasmussen starting for Tampa Bay in what likely will be a bullpen game. John Means is going for the Orioles. Means gave up six runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings his last outing against Detroit. And in three games versus the Rays this season, Means has allowed 10 earned runs on 21 hits in 16 1/3 innings. Tampa Bay is 38-16 the past 54 meetings, and the Rays have won 13 of 16 against teams with .400 or worse winning percentages. Also, the Rays have won 45 of 64 as favorites. Baltimore has lost 38 of its past 51 road games. Play the Rays.
