LiontipsTampa Bay Rays vs Detroit Tigers. Prediction and Betting Tips for MLB 2022 (May 16, 2022).
Command Analysis
The Tampa Bay Rays are at 0.600 after 35 games of the regular season. Currently, the team is on the 4th line of the American League standings and has a good chance to catch up with the leaders if they deliver solid results in the home series against the Tigers. Kevin Cash's men had a successful performance against the Toronto Blue Jays last week; the Rays won two of the three games (5:2, 1:5, 3:0).
The Detroit Tigers swept the Baltimore Orioles at home last week (4:2, 3:0, 5:1), thus improving their stats. A. J. Hinch's side is currently at 0.343, but the team remains at the bottom of the American League table. A road trip to Tampa Bay will be a real test for the Tigers - the Rays are a very difficult opponent. Alex Faedo will start on the mound in the series opener.
Tip and bets
The Tigers looked confident against the Orioles, but both of those clubs are outsiders, while the Rays are one of the strongest sides in the AL. Recently, the Rays have demonstrated amazing performance, and historically they didn't experience problems against the Detroit Tigers at home. The hosts are the favorites in this match, and we believe they will open the series with a large-margin victory.
