I am going with the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of this series Monday night mainly because of the pitching matchup. Rasmussen is coming off his best start of the season where he did not give up any runs in six innings. He has a WHIP of 1.00 and the A’s have lost their last four games facing a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15 and on top of that have only scored four runs in their last two games, The Rays have the better bats and will take advantage of a weak A's lineup.


Take the Rays on the money line.
