Tampa Bay Rays (71-46) at Oakland Athletics (54-63)
Tuesday, 10:05 pm Eastern
SBG Global Opening Line: Rays - 170 , Total 7.5 Under - 120
The Tampa Bay Rays may have a 4.5 game lead over the Boston Red Sox in the American League East but injuries are starting to mount. The Rays just placed outfielder Carl Crawford and third baseman Evan Longoria on the 15-day DL. The Rays did set a record on Sunday as they picked up their club-record 71st victory of the season in Seattle.
They understand that injuries must be overcome. "You have to look at what we do have. And the guys that we do have are going to produce," catcher Shawn Riggans said, "Everybody's still got to go out there, and we're going to play hard and usually that will work out for some victories." SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Rays on the Road.
