Tampa Bay at Texas

Premium Pick

Taj Bradley will seek to end a two-game Tampa Bay skid after he pitched well in his first start this season, allowing only two runs on five hits in six innings against Colorado on Sunday. The Rays scored 19 runs in three games before being stymied in their past two, while scoring a total of four, and they are 6-1 UNDER in 2025. Texas is 7-1 UNDER, and five of the past six meetings have stayed UNDER. The Rangers will start Jacob deGrom, who has made only nine starts in two years, although he does come off five shutout innings against Boston on Sunday. Texas is averaging only 2.88 runs per game this season, and deGrom will likely go no more than five innings as the Rangers ease him back into condition. Tampa Bay is a live road dog in this matchup and take the Rays and the UNDER.
