TAMPA BAY RAYS VS KANSAS CITY ROYALS PREDICTION
The Rays are coming off a series sweep against the Yankees which is a momentum builder for the Rays who struggled early in the season. The Rays have scored 18 runs in the last 3 games indicating the offense may be ready to explode. Duffy is a solid pitcher but there is good value on taking the Rays in this spot getting + money. The Rays Fleming isn’t bad himself as he only allowed 1 run in 5 innings against the Rangers in his first appearance. The Rangers were also red hot offensively at the time which the Royals have been slowing down on the offensive end scoring only 10 runs in the previous 3 games against the Blue Jays. Take the Rays in this one.
