Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/12/26

The Tampa Bay Rays stayed red hot with an 8-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays last night, giving Tampa Bay wins in nine of its last 10 games. For Toronto, they’ve now dropped six of their last ten and will look to get things going as they hand the ball over to Patrick Corbin who is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA this season. For the Rays, Shane McClanahan will get the nod, entering at 4-2 with a 2.60 ERA and hasn’t allowed a run over his last 16.2 innings pitched while striking out 16 batters and allowing just 10 hits during that stretch. 

Offensively, Tampa Bay continues producing at a high level, averaging 4.2 runs per game while batting .275. Toronto is averaging 4.7 runs per game while batting .251 in that same span, but the difference between these teams lately has been pitching consistency. The last time these two starters faced off on May 6th, the Rays picked up a 3-0 victory, with Corbin allowing two earned runs in that matchup. Tampa Bay has also handled left-handed pitching well this season, batting .242 against southpaws. With the Rays playing some of the best baseball in the league right now and holding a clear edge on the mound with McClanahan, Tampa Bay is in a strong spot to continue its winning streak on the road.
