MLB Wild Card Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Rays vs. Guardians
Tampa Bay Rays vs. Cleveland Guardians
- Leg 1: Guardians ML (-112)
- Leg 2: Over 6 (-105)
- Leg 3: Triston McKenize over 5.5 strikeouts (-110)
This was the tightest game yesterday, with Shane Bieber and Shane McClanahan in a pitcher’s duel until the sixth inning, thanks to Yandy Diaz’s home run for Tampa Bay. It was short-lived as Jose Ramirez countered for Cleveland with a two-run shot in the bottom of the inning that would be the game-winner.
The young Triston McKenize will take the mound for Cleveland in Game 2 to try and wrap up the series. He started the year off shaky like most of this rotation, but was impressive after June and finished with a 2.19 ERA. The Guardians went 11-5 in his final 16 starts. The Rays lineup is fresh on his mind as he went six innings and allowed one earned back on September 28th.
Tampa Bay will hand the fate of the season over to Tyler Glasnow in this elimination game. He’s making just his second start this season as he returned from Tommy John surgery. His 2022 debut came in against Cleveland opposite of McKenzie, and the Guardians would go on to win in extra innings. This will likely be an all-hands-on-deck situation for the Rays, as Glasnow has yet to make it out of the fourth in the previous two starts.
This game was close yesterday, but it’ll be different today, with the Guards getting a convincing and series-clinching win.
