On Friday in the 1st of a three-game series Tampa Bay hosts Arizona in which the Rays will be preferred in MLB gambling in each event.
Tampa Bay has a far better record than Arizona in baseball gambling at the sportsbook and on Friday they have a certain pitching advantage as well.
MLB gambling odds on the Arizona Diamondbacks will have them underdogs in practically all of their road matches. They are beginning a six-game road trip and Arizona simply does not win that often away from home. They’ve got Edwin Jackson going in this match and he has the possibility to pitch well although he is 4-6 on the season with a 5.05 ERA. He’s opposed in this match by Tampa’s Jeff Niemann who is 6-1 with a 2.84 ERA.
Jackson allowed three runs last time out in 7 2/3 innings vs Detroit. Despite the fact that Jackson gives up runs, he does give the Diamondbacks some innings. In 9 straight starts, he has pitched 6 innings or more. Jackson will be trying to pitch well vs his former team, since he pitched for the Rays from 2006-2008. He has pitched one time in his career vs the Rays and he allowed three runs on 6 hits in eight innings. Niemann gave up only 2 runs in 6 innings last time out vs Florida. He gave up only three hits and one walk while striking out 7. In Neimann’s 14 outings, he has 11 good starts this season.
Tampa has run this series in MLB gambling vs the Arizona Diamondbacks, winning 7 of the last 9 matches. Tampa won 2 of three on the road the most recent time these 2 teams met in 2007. The last time they met in Tampa Bay was in 2006 when the Rays swept the Arizona Diamondbacks vs the MLB gambling odds.
Arizona has one of the worst road records in the league at 10-27 so it is tough to back them away from home in baseball gambling. Having Jackson on the mound is perhaps the only positive in this match vs Tampa Bay. The Rays are in fact far better on the road than they are at home. That doesn’t mean they cannot win at home though as they still have a winning record at Tropicana Field. Tampa has great overall numbers as they are in the leading 5 in both hitting and pitching to date this season.
Tampa Bay is also going out of their way to appeal to more fans to their matches. They started a program called the Saturday night concert series that was such a success, they expanded it to their Friday night matches. So tomorrow night’s game will include a postgame show featuring Tantric, the band to blame for the song “Down and Out”. This is the song that plays every time the Rays’ third baseman Evan Longoria goes to bat. Furthermore the 1st 10,000 fanatics at every Friday night home matches will receive collectible T-shirts. So being competitive with this fan base at home may be difficult for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
