The Tampa Bay Rays seek to extend their winning streak to four games in Game 2 of their series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday at PNC Park. The Rays’ resounding 10-3 win over the Pirates on Friday has given them their fourth win in five games, improving their record to 37-39. This June, Tampa Bay has a 9-9 win-loss card, batting .247 with 80 runs while carrying a 4.93 ERA. The Pirates, meanwhile, won three of their last fourth games prior to Friday’s loss to the Rays.

Players to Watch: Rays right fielder Josh Lowe recorded two home runs and four RBIs to power his team to a dominant win last Friday. Meanwhile, Bryan Reynolds has recorded a homer in back-to-back games and three of their last four.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Prediction: The Rays’ 10-run explosion on Friday has carried the total past the 8.0 run threshold. The total has gone OVER in 6 of Tampa Bay's last 7 games. The Rays are batting .284 with 34 runs while maintaining a 4.44 ERA over their last five games. The Pirates have been in a funk offensively over their last five assignments, batting .219 with 17 runs. Fortunately for Pittsburgh, they have the fifth best ERA this week at 3.00. If the total is going to hit the OVER again, the Rays need to have another big day offensively to get the job done. Jared Jones is a promising young hurler for the Pirates but he gave up six earned runs in his last start; therefore, I am not confident he can hold off the Rays’ offensive attack. Our betting prediction for Tampa Bay Rays vs Pittsburgh Pirates: Bet on Total to go OVER 8.5 Runs, -110, at BetMGM.
