AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Atlanta,
Total: 9.00 | -107.00 Over
Result: Win
The Rays are coming into this game losing their last 2 straight games against the Braves and they are going to be hungry to bounce back here and avoid the sweep. Both of the games in this series have seen at least 10 total runs and the Braves have actually seen 9 runs or more in their last 3 straight games. Zach Eflin is starting for the Rays in this game and he is 3-4 with a 4.06 ERA this season. He has been consistently allowing runs in his starts all year as he has allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 4 starts, and he has also been averaging over 3 earned runs allowed per game in his last 5 road starts. He has not been getting blown up in a lot of games this year, but the Braves offense has been heating up recently as they have scored at least 6 runs in each of their last 3 and they need some momentum from sweeping the Rays in this series as they have not been playing well over the last 2 weeks. The Braves are also going to need to bring the runs in this game with their starter. Hurston Waldrep is starting for the Braves here and he is 0-1 with a 17.18 ERA this season. He is in his rookie season and he has only made 1 start this year, but he allowed 7 earned runs in that start and pitched less than 4 innings against a weaker offense in the Nationals. The Rays do not have a great offense this season, but they will be able to score runs against this rookie and they are going to get up for this game to avoid the sweep as well. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
