REBEL PARLAY: MLB - TAMPA BAY RAYS

* Tampa Bay Rays First Team to Score

* Tampa Bay Rays ML

This is basically a Rays ML with a little extra juice. Texas has been playing well, but Tampa Bay has been nearly impossible to beat at home. The Rays own the best home record in baseball at 39-16 and are already closing in on their total number of home wins from last season. Talk about a turnaround.

Tampa Bay has also scored first in 4 of their last 5 games, and with Shane McClanahan on the mound protecting them today they should make it 5 of their last 6. The Rays have the bats to apply pressure right away, and getting on the board first would put them in control at the place where they’ve dominated all year.
