Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/26/26

The Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles face off again on Tuesday after the Orioles slugged out a 9-7 victory on Monday. That game took 13 innings, and it was 2-2 at the end of 9. Both starters were nearly flawless, and it took ghost runners to finally kickstart these offenses. It is hard to say how that will carry forward into Tuesday, whether tired players, sluggish bats, or stressed bullpens, but both starters will likely be expected to go as deep as they can. These teams also played last week, a series that the Rays swept at home. In general, I would prefer not to bet against Tampa these days, so I am taking the Rays on the Money Line.

On the mound will be Griffin Jax for the Rays and Shane Baz for the Orioles. Baz is a former Ray who is making his way with the O’s now, and he has been good for them. Last week against his former team, Baz tossed 6 innings of 1-run baseball and allowed only 2 hits. As for Jax, he has worked out of the bullpen until 2 weeks ago, so his pitch count is still quite limited. But his 2 starts have been good, both going 5 innings and allowing only 1 run across those starts, including a start against Baltimore last week. There probably isn’t much advantage on the mound, but Tampa’s surprisingly strong offense and the way they constantly put pressure on the opponent is just fun to watch, and I think they win a lot of games they probably shouldn’t. There is a reason they have the best record in baseball, and I will keep backing them.
