Rays vs Brewers Picks and Prediction – 5/1/2024

Rays vs Brewers Prediction

American Family Field will play host to a Wednesday afternoon MLB interleague clash between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Rays (14-17) have dropped eight of their last 11 games and are sitting in last place in the AL East Division. Last night, Tampa Bay was limited to five hits and struck out 13 times during an 8-2 road loss against Milwaukee. 

Thirty year old right-hander Zach Eflin (1-3 4.08 ERA) will head to the hill for the Rays in this contest. Through 35 plus innings, Eflin has retired 30 batters by strikes and owns a solid 1.19 WHIP.

The Milwaukee Brewers are a game below .500 at home and own a half-game lead over Chicago for the top spot in the NL Central Division. During Tuesday’s home victory, SS Willy Adames hit a three-run blast in the fifth inning to give Milwaukee a 6-1 lead. SP Freddy Peralta (3-0) fanned seven batters across five plus frames to earn the win for the Brewers, who improved to 18-11 on the year. 

Thirty-three year old righty Colin Rea (2-0 3.25 ERA) is quietly getting the job done for the Brewers. Last time out, Rea (6 IP) walked three batters and gave up five runs during a 7-6 home victory versus the New York Yankees.
