Tampa Bay RaysvsLos Angeles Angels
The Tampa Bay Rays roll into Anaheim tonight riding a 40-26 record and looking every bit like a team with October on their minds, while the Los Angeles Angels are limping along at 28-42 and already thinking about the offseason. Somehow the books have the Angels as slight home favorites at -110, which tells you more about Angel Stadium's thin air than anything happening in that bullpen lately.
Tampa's been doing it with pitching depth and situational hitting all year — if their starter can get through six and keep the heart of that Angels order in the park, the Rays' pen should close this one out. Prediction: Rays win going away, the Angels' closer doesn't even sniff the ninth inning.
