Tampa Bay Rays vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction: Rays will take revenge for defeat in the first game of the series

Tampa Bay lost the first game of their home-and-home series to Milwaukee with a score of 3:5. Will the Rays be able to get revenge in the second meeting? We'll pick a few bets at once.

Tampa Bay Rays

In the American League, the Eastern Division is once again the strongest in the league this season. For that reason, Tampa Bay, currently only fourth in the quintet, is a serious contender for the wild card. The Rays are just one win away from coveted fifth place in the conference.

The first game of the series against Milwaukee turned out to be tough and did not yield a positive result for Kevin Cash's team. Two home runs in the 6th inning were hit by pitcher Shane Baz and reliever Matt Wisler (3:5).

Jalen Beeks will pitch for Tampa Bay in game two of their series with the Brewers, going 1-1 with a 2.59 ERA in 19 games.

Milwaukee Brewers

Craig Counsell's team had a tough home series against Toronto before Tampa Bay and managed to win two of the three games - 4:9, 5:4, and 10:3. Thus, the Brewers regained first place in the National League Central Division, although they are only one win ahead of St. Louis (43-33 to 43-34).

Inning 6 was the key in the first game against the Rays. Andrew McCutchen and Luis Urias hit a double home run. Brandon Woodruff, the starting pitcher, earned the 5:3 pitching win, and Josh Hader pitched his next save, his 24th of the season.

Eric Lauer will pitch for Milwaukee in game two of the series with Tampa Bay, going 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA in 13 starts.

Expert Betting Tips

With Eric Lauer, Milwaukee has lost four of its last five games, including games against such minor opponents as the Chicago Cubs and Washington. The Brewers are unlikely to win in the upcoming game against Tampa Bay. The Rays will have a bullpen game, but needless to say, how well does Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash knows how to run these games?
