Thursday, August 25, 2022 Los Angeles Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays (MLB) - 1:10 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Money Line: -170 Tampa Bay Rays Rating: 10* Rare 10 Star Afternoon Delight Play (WIN) RHP Drew Rasmussen is simply ripping up the AL with excellent mechanics! His scarcity & unfamiliarity ALSO comes into play here as he's faced L.A. just once in his career throwing a scoreless inning in relief for Tampa Bay last season. Rasmussen has build some SERIOUS momentum his last 3 posting a 1.59 ERA with the Rays going 3-0. Another decisive edge to take into account is his day-game ERA this season where he chimes in @ 1.22. Timing is everything as there's a strong possibility that Mike Trout will be taking the day off. With him, the Angels only hit RHP'ing on the road to the tune of a Mendoza-teetering .211. L.A.'s struggles in TB are also apparent as witnessed by them going 1-6 their last 7 there as well as 8-24 versus the Rays overall. We'll be happy to go to Tropicana Field to play the LOS ANGELES ANGELS-NO SCORE 1st Inning as my RARE 10 Star Afternoon Delight Play! Monday, August 22, 2022 Los Angeles Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays (MLB) - 7:10 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Money Line: -215 Tampa Bay Rays Rating: 8* Mike's 8* Rays Of Sunshine (WIN) Jeffrey Springs, the 6'3" southpaw (15' Rangers' draft pick out of Appalachian State) is a converted starter & has come back strong off knee surgery. His combo of a 4-seamer, slider & changeup has hit a groove as witnessed by his 2.52 overall ERA as well as posting a brilliant 1.69 ERA over his last 3 starts with Tampa Bay. He now faces an Ohtani-less Angels' lineup that hit .216 on the road (and that was with him) versus LHP. We'll grab the UPPER hand as we go to Tropicana Field to play the LOS ANGELES ANGELS-NO SCORE 1st Inning as my 8 Star Rays of Sunshine Play!
