Tigers vs Rays MLB Betting Preview
Spencer Torkelson is a great power bat, and although the ballpark isn't great, the matchup more than makes up for it.
Steven Matz is well past his prime and grades out as a plus matchup for righty power, giving up 1.42 HR/9 this season.
I have the true odds around +420 today, making this a great EV bet.
Pick: Spencer Torkelson Home Run +525
