Rockies vs Rays Preview

The Colorado Rockies and Tampa Bay Rays will meet at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Sunday. The Rockies will have Ryan Feltner as their starting pitcher. Feltner’s recent spring training games showed mixed results. He pitched five innings against the Brewers, allowing two runs. Earlier, he struggled against the Rangers, giving up five runs in less than two innings.

The Rays will counter with Taj Bradley on the mound. Bradley’s last outing was against the Blue Jays, where he pitched over five innings and allowed four runs. He showed better control in an earlier game against the Phillies, not allowing any runs. Both teams will aim to finish their spring training strong before the regular season begins.

Rays Ready for Regular Season

The Tampa Bay Rays have started the season strong with a .292 team batting average. Kameron Misner leads the hitters with a .600 average and one home run. Junior Caminero also contributes with a .444 average and one run scored. The Rays’ pitching has been solid, with a 1.50 ERA and .203 batting average against. Taj Bradley will take the mound, hoping to build on his spring training performance. In his last outing, he pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs against the Blue Jays. The team showed promise in spring training, ranking third in batting average. They also hit 36 home runs, placing them ninth in that category. The Rays aim to carry this momentum into the regular season games.

Rockies Seek to Improve Early Season Form

The Colorado Rockies are looking to find their rhythm in the early games of the season. Ryan McMahon stands out with a .571 batting average in two games. Hunter Goodman also contributes with a .375 average and one run scored. Ryan Feltner will be the starting pitcher for the Rockies. In spring training, he had mixed results, with a notable outing against the Mariners, where he allowed no runs in 3 2/3 innings. Feltner aims to bring that form into the regular games. The Rockies’ team batting average is .200 with no home runs yet. They have shown some speed with two stolen bases. The pitching staff holds a 2.12 ERA, but they need to lower their batting average against, which stands at .297.

Final Betting Pick

The Rockies’ MoneyLine at 169 is a good pick because they have already shown they can compete with the Rays. In their recent spring training win, the Rockies managed to hold the Rays to just one run, even though the Rays had more hits. This suggests that the Rockies’ pitching can keep the game close, giving them a chance to win again.

The Under 8.5 prediction is supported by both teams’ strong pitching performances early this season. The Rays have a 1.50 ERA, and the Rockies have a 2.12 ERA, indicating that runs might be limited. With both teams having solid pitching stats from spring training, a low-scoring game is likely.
