Kenny G grabbed Tampa Bay at +110, arguing the Rays’ lineup is finally waking up after a 20-30 game slump. Adrian Hauser (6-4, 2.84 ERA) has been roughed up in two starts for Tampa but still grades better than Giants starter Justin Verlander, who sits at 1-9 with a 4.53 ERA and was torched by Washington last time out. Kenny trusts the Rays’ respectable 3.70 bullpen ERA to hold any late lead, while noting San Francisco ranks 27th in batting average and 25th in runs. Even with the Giants’ second-best bullpen, he expects Tampa to "light up Verlander" and find enough offense to cash the plus-money ticket.

Ruffolo took the Rays at plus money in Oracle Park. He expects Adrian Houser to bounce back from two mediocre starts with Tampa, reminding listeners of the lights-out stretch Houser posted with the White Sox earlier this season. The Giants, who he says 'can’t hit a beach ball right now,' head into a pitcher-friendly park having scored just seven runs over their last five games, giving the Rays value on the money line.

Guy Boston Sports also suggested grabbing the full-game under if an 8 re-appears (some shops down to 7.5). He cited two strong bullpens plus a Webb-Boyle matchup he expects to favor pitching over hitting. Despite Tampa’s brief outburst versus Oakland, he questioned their night-to-night consistency, and he does not fully trust the Giants’ bats either. With both offenses prone to lulls, he believes any total at 8 or higher offers value, or bettors can isolate a Rays team-total under.

Guy Boston Sports liked San Francisco at –130/-137 with Logan Webb back from the 15-day IL after a strong first 20 starts. He trusts Webb over Joe Boyle, noting Boyle’s volatility in his last five outings and heavy fastball mix—a pitch the Giants are currently handling well. He called Tampa’s recent 8- and 7-run outbursts against Oakland an outlier for an otherwise inconsistent lineup and pointed out both clubs’ quality bullpens, concluding the Giants carry a modest but real edge at home.

Despite scoring only five runs in their last five games, Cash Out Sports Picks expects San Francisco to bounce back. Rays starter Joe Boyle has surrendered six runs in two of his last three turns, whereas Giants hurler Rupp was sharp before a short IL stint and returns rested. The tout noted identical win totals for both sub-.500 clubs but emphasised home-field urgency and Boyle’s volatility, calling for the Giants to stop the skid and grab the moneyline victory.

Bill Harrelson took Patrick Bailey to record at least one base versus Tampa Bay. Bailey has reached safely in 7 of his past 9 and 13 of his last 20 (65 %). At Oracle Park he’s cleared in 4 of his last 5, averaging 1.4 bases. Across 83 games this season he’s hit in 55 % of contests and posted a 60 % rate over 104 games last year. Harrelson noted Bailey’s improved splits versus right-handed pitching, while the Rays’ scheduled righty owns a .156 opponents’ average that tightens to .145 against lefties, effectively neutral. With roughly four plate appearances expected, Harrelson believes Bailey will pick up a hit or walk and top the 0.5 total-bases/on-base line.

Kenny G is leaning to San Francisco −130 despite the club’s five-game skid. He prefers Landon Rupp (3.11 ERA) off the IL to Tampa’s Joe Boyle (3.82 ERA, shelled in last start vs Seattle) and trusts a Giants bullpen that ranks among MLB’s best. Both offenses are ice-cold—Tampa has plated 8-0-0-7-3-4-2 over its last seven while San Francisco has scored just 1-1-1-0 in its last four—but G believes the stronger relief unit and home field tilt this “coin-flip” matchup toward the Giants at a modest favorite price.
