Streaking Rays eye a Camden cash-in

Baltimore Orioles

Orioles (30-40) VS Rays (39-32)

17 Jun 2025 | 7:35 PM ET | Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Tampa Bay Rays
Moneyline Pick - Tampa Bay Rays (-125): Grade B

Tampa Bay rolls into this matchup with steadier form and a key bullpen advantage as Baltimore continues to stumble through a poor season and navigates late innings without its top reliever. The Rays send out a starter who’s been efficient all season, while the Orioles’ starters have recently seen run support dry up, which has undercut otherwise solid outings. Baltimore’s bullpen has struggled mightily in June, leading the league in blown saves, and that liability could decide another close contest.

With both teams crossing the midway mark and postseason seeding already in view, Tampa’s more reliable arms and timely hitting offer the safer path to a win. Laying a modest moneyline with the visiting favorite offers value above 60% win probability, thanks to matchup consistency and the bullpen gap.

Over/Under Pick - Under 9 (-110): B

Baltimore looks to build on a recent 3-1 run behind a starter coming off back-to-back poor outings, while Tampa Bay arrives with a lineup missing key pieces and some recent struggles at the plate. The Rays’ starter has found consistent success at Camden Yards, and the bullpen behind him has strung together 11 straight scoreless innings, helping cover for the club’s own offensive dip.

With both teams hovering around the season’s halfway mark and postseason positioning tightening, expect a tightly managed, low-scoring affair. Baltimore has struggled to generate runs at home, and Tampa’s recent slide at the plate adds to the case for the Under.

Spread Pick - Tampa Bay Rays, -1.5 (-158): B

Tampa Bay enters this matchup riding a four-game win streak and playing with more roster stability, while Baltimore continues to rebound slightly through a 5-5 stretch and is still down key contributors. The Rays have been getting steady production and power from their lineup and benefit from a starter who consistently works deep into games, backed by a late-inning bullpen that’s been sharp throughout June.

Baltimore’s recent offensive struggles and bullpen strain make it tough to project a turnaround against a surging opponent. With the season’s midpoint bringing playoff implications into sharper focus, backing Tampa Bay on the -1.5 run line offers value even with the added juice.
