Oakland Athletics vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction: Rays are expected to even the series

In Major League Baseball, Oakland Athletics will play Tampa Bay Rays at Oakland Coliseum. This is game 2 of a four-game series. Below is a preview of the game with possible betting opportunities. 

Oakland Athletics will look to keep things going after a 3-0 win in the opener and boosting their record this season to 54-71. However, a look at their prior series saw them also defeat the San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and Chicago White Sox. In that run, Oakland Athletics have a 7-4 record. The Oakland Athletics have moved to 13th in the American League, pulling off a 0.432 PCT. 

The Tampa Bay Rays started this series poorly, as they failed to score a single run. However, the prior series to this saw them secure a sweeping win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, scoring 19 runs while conceding 12. In the meantime, Tampa Bay Rays have lost more of their last series to this, three out of four. In the MLB this season, the Tampa Bay Rays have a 62-62 record, leaving them seated 9th in the American League. 

This is going to be competitive, looking at the two teams' winning chances and how their first game ended. However, I feel the Tampa Bay Rays have a chance of taking something in this game, as they have been decent in this series in the past.
