Premium Pick

Tampa Bay goes for the sweep after winning the first two games of the series, including Saturday's 6-5 victory when Isaac Paredes homered in the eighth and hit a walk-off two-run single with two outs in the ninth. Pittsburgh has lost three of its last four games and fell to 12-22 on the road while the Rays are 24-15 at home. Shane McClanahan has been one of the top pitchers in the Majors this year with a 7-3 record and a 1.81 ERA, including 6-2 and 1.95 at home. Pittsburgh batters will be seeing McClanahan for the first time. Roansy Contreras got a win against the Cubs on Tuesday, but he allowed eight runs on 14 hits in nine innings in his previous two starts. The Pirates are 15-36 in their past 51 interleague games and 5-14 in their past 19 games overall. Also, Pittsburgh has lost eight straight interleague road games versus lefty starters. Play the Rays.
