Rays vs Brewers Prediction
Tampa Bay was able to snap their small losing streak with the win in game one on Friday night, but they are just 10-16 at home this year. The Rays have allowed at least seven runs in three of their last four games, but they are starting Bradley, who has allowed two earned runs in each of his last two starts. Milwaukee is 7-13 on the road this season and they are going with Myers, who has allowed quite a few baserunners, but has done a decent job of limiting runs. I think we are going to see another lower scoring game, so I like the under once again here.
