Cash Out Sports Picks laid out a strong case for riding the Rays on the money line. Miami has dropped eight of ten and just shuffled its rotation, sending opener-plus-bulk arm Connor Gillispy (8.65 ERA in 26 IP) instead of Sandy Alcantara. Tampa counters with Drew Rasmussen, who has tossed four straight scoreless starts and owns a 1.80 ERA in 20 career innings versus the Fish. The Rays are 4-0 in Rasmussen’s last four outings and have won four of their past five series overall. Tampa’s bullpen sits fourth in reliever ERA (3.23) while Miami’s ranks 24th (4.54), and the Rays’ offense has out-scored the Marlins 4.67 to 4.00 runs per game over the last six contests. With matchup form, starting-pitching dominance, and a clear bullpen edge, the tout expects Tampa Bay to keep rolling.

Kenny G advised backing Tampa Bay on the run-line at roughly -120. Drew Rasmussen has a 2.14 ERA and has not surrendered an earned run in his last four starts, a stretch that began with six scoreless frames against these same Marlins. Miami is treating this as a full bullpen game; that group owns a 4.54 ERA, bottom-six in MLB. Offensively the Fish are just 23rd in runs and 21st in slugging, so their 11-run outburst Saturday looks fluky. Meanwhile Tampa’s bullpen ranks top-4 and the lineup is league-average (13th in runs) and fresh off a 10-run effort. With the Rays 22-19 at home and Miami 9-18 on the road, Kenny expects Rasmussen to cruise and Tampa to win by multiple runs.

Drew Martin said the only side he can back in Sunday’s Sunshine State showdown is Tampa Bay, provided the money-line does not climb past roughly –160. He trusts Drew Rasmussen’s current form—2.14 ERA, sparkling 56-to-13 K/BB ratio and six scoreless innings against Miami two weeks ago. Meanwhile Sandy Alcantara’s name recognition may create a discount even though the former Cy Young winner is mired in a 2-7 record with an 8-plus ERA. Martin also noted the Rays have been home for two straight weeks, eliminating travel fatigue, and he would pivot to a –1 run-line if oddsmakers hang an inflated price.

Mark went back to what he called “Old Faithful” by betting Tampa Bay –105 on DraftKings in the ‘Will Not Bat in the 9th’ market, meaning the Rays must be leading after eight innings at home. He trusts rookie Taj Bradley to dominate a Marlins lineup that has been ice-cold all month and stressed that the price is far cheaper than usual for this prop. If Bradley delivers six quality frames and Tampa’s bullpen holds serve, the Rays should close it out without needing their half of the ninth.

Cash Out Sports Picks backed the Tampa Bay Rays on the moneyline, pointing to a stark contrast in current form. Tampa Bay is averaging 5.67 runs over its last six games, while Miami has mustered only 2.3. The disparity extends to the bullpens: the Rays rank fourth in MLB with a 3.20 reliever ERA, whereas Miami’s pen sits 23rd at 4.45. The tout added that the Rays have dominated the recent head-to-head series, winning seven of the last ten meetings, and noted the overall records (Rays 34-29 vs Marlins 23-38) as further evidence the better club is being undervalued. With Tampa’s offense rolling and a shutdown relief corps ready to protect any lead, he labeled the Rays a strong side play at standard juice.
