"Waltimore Worioles" - Orioles

Spenser Watkins will be taking the hill Tuesday for the Orioles. He is 3-1 with a 3.93 ERA in 12 starts this year. He'll be facing an offense that scores the ninth-fewest runs per game in the majors. In his last start, Watkins threw five innings, giving up four hits and one earned run while punching out five.

Recently, the right-hander has been very good, holding a 1.19 ERA in his past four outings. The Rays' offense isn't their team's strength, but Watkins' 4.49 FIP indicates that he may be in line for a regression.

Shane McClanahan will be starting Tuesday for the road team. He is 10-3 with a 1.71 ERA this year. He'll be pitching against a team that is ranked #21 in runs per game in the league. Last start, McClanahan went 6 1/3 innings, surrendering just three hits and one earned run while fanning six versus the Boston Red Sox.

"...Shane McClanahan: 10-3, 1.71 ERA, 110.2 IP, 147 SO, 3.8 bWAR, 3.2 fWAR, 214 ERA+..." - AmericanLeagueMuse

Lately, the left-hander has been even better than his overall numbers, sporting a 1.37 ERA in his past four outings. The Rays are 12-6 in McClanahan's starts, and they should look to get back on track with their ace going on Tuesday.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays Betting Prediction

With Shane McClanahan, the Rays are rightfully the favored team for Tuesday's game. Baltimore has been one of the hottest teams in the MLB over the last few weeks, carrying a 13-4 record in their previous 17. Still, the Rays' ace should be able to slow the home team down enough for the total to go under.

Prediction: No Runs First Inning (-120) & Total Under 7.5 (-105)
