Why the Rays' Shane McClanahan vs. Orioles pitching matchup looks like a betting gift

I've talked about this before, but there are some games where the line just stands out to you.

Normally, it is because you feel like the book is really off about something.

In my experience, I've either been a huge winner because of this, or I temper my expectations because I feel like there is something I have to be missing that the books know.

That's how I feel about today's game between the Rays and Orioles.

The line is off, but maybe I'm missing something.

The only way to find out is to throw some cash on it.

The Tampa Bay Rays are among the best teams in baseball, and they were a team that was predicted to be essentially a .500 team.

As of right now, they own the American League East and the best record in the American League.

They only need to hold up for another few weeks in order to get to the finish line.

The Yankees are still chasing them, despite all the injuries, and the Red Sox are within a reasonable striking distance.

They aren't playing great baseball at the moment, having lost three of the last five, but they are still in a good spot.

What is surprising to me about today's game is that Shane McClanahan is on the bump for the Rays, and they are only moderate favorites to beat the Orioles.

For the season, McClanahan is 9-6 with a 3.25 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP.

Perhaps the reason is that he hasn't been great on the road this season, throwing to a 4.31 ERA in away games.
