San Francisco Giants vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Saturday, April 13, 2024 – 04:10 PM ET at Tropicana Field
The AI Model believes the Rays will earn a 5-3 victory over the Giants at home on Saturday. We’ve got two premier pitchers on the mound, but the model certainly favors one over the other. With the Rays sitting at just -110, there’s tons of value in Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay Should Escape San Francisco
While the Tampa Bay Rays are two games above .500, the Giants are four games under and already underachieving to begin the season. This is one of the reasons why the AI Model favors the Rays in Game 2 of this series.
The Tampa Bay Rays knew exactly what they were doing when they traded Tyler Glasnow for a package deal that included Ryan Pepiot from the Dodgers.
Pepiot will soon become one of the best young pitchers in the game. He’s already held teams to a .100 ISO and wOBA of .240 and has managed 31.8% of strikeouts with just 9.1% of walks. He’s facing a Giants projected lineup that has struck out nearly 23% of the time against righties since last year. Seven of the nine batters in the lineup have also struck out at least 21% of the time.
Pepiot will face San Francisco’s ace, Logan Webb. Webb has only earned 18.1% of strikeouts and has watched 32 lefties hit a .403 wOBA against him this season. Webb hasn’t pitched poorly, but he’s got a tougher matchup against the Rays, who have multiple players who have hit a high ISO and wOBA against righties since last season.
Back Tampa Bay on the moneyline here.
