#914 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 on the Run Line (+100) over Los Angeles Angels, Tuesday at 6:40 PM ET - Taking a look at the projected starters here, the Rays are expected to start Taj Bradley.  He has been victimized a bit by the long ball in recent starts but Bradley also has held hitters to a .226 batting average since the All-Star break while striking out 38 over 29 innings!  Consider that the Angels expected starter here is Patrick Sandoval and he is 0-3 with a 6.59 ERA and opponents hitting .333 against him in the month of September.  Sandoval has really been struggling and though Bradley's numbers have not been great, this Angels team has already packed it in for the season.  Ohtani is now shut down for the season and they unloaded some veterans when they could with only Grichuk - now one of their top veteran hitters in the lineup - being stuck with the team.  Trout is still out and may not even play again this season.  If you look at their current lineup they are fielding on a regular basis of late, it is no wonder that the Angels have lost 5 straight games and been outscored 32 to 11 in those 5 defeats.  This Angels team is struggling badly and done for the year.  The Rays are still in a battle for the AL East title and top record in the AL.  Though off B2B losses, TB was on a 29-13 run prior to these consecutive defeats.  They are happy to be back home after a tough series at Baltimore and Tampa Bay has won 12 of last 16 on their home field.  9 of last 10 Rays home wins by at least 2 runs.  19 of last 25 Angels losses by at least 2 runs.  This one should be another one that falls into that multi-run margin category!  We are getting some nice value laying -1.5 in this one and not having to lay any juice with the Rays. Lay the 1.5 runs here!
