Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 06/16/25

In this game, we will see the Baltimore Orioles travel to Florida to face the Tampa Bay Rays. The Orioles come into this game winning 4 of their last 5. The Rays just completed a 3-game sweep against the Mets. This should be a great game. On the mound, we will see Zach Eflin of the Orioles and Ryan Pepiot of the Rays. Eflin has pitched well on the year with a 4.08 ERA and a 6-2 record. He pitched very well in his recent start against the Detroit Tigers where he went 6.2 innings giving up 5 hits and 1 run. While Eflin has pitched well, the Rays are starting Pepiot who is also having a great year. On the year, he has a 3.31 ERA but his record is 3-6. In his last 2 starts he has pitched 11.2 innings giving up 8 hits but 5 earned runs thanks to 3 home runs. When Pepiot is able to avoid giving up home runs, he has been able to hold every offense to 2 or fewer runs scored. This should be a good pitching matchup between these 2.

When it comes to hitting, the Orioles are batting .278 over the past 6 games while the Rays are batting .269 over that time span. Additionally, both teams have scored over 30 runs in the last 6 games. These numbers signify why both teams are on winning streaks. With both starters having potential and both teams hitting the ball well, we must evaluate the bullpens. On the year, the Rays’ bullpen holds a 3.05 ERA (ranks second) while the Orioles bullpen comes in with a 4.54 ERA (ranks 24th). Overall, the Rays boast the better bullpen and the better starter for today. Additionally, the Orioles batting numbers are inflated thanks to the Los Angeles Angels terrible pitching in their recent series. I am rolling with the Rays to win this one comfortably.
