Rays vs. Angels MLB Pick – September 13th

Posted December 21, 2019

As they Start a three-game series from the Los Angeles Angels, the Tampa Bay Rays hope to respond Friday night in Anaheim.

The Rays are coming into California in the middle of a funk. They lost their final two games in a three-game series against the Rangers in Texas by dozens of 6-4 and 10-9. The Rays got too comfy following a 5-3 win in the opener.
This was on the heels of a six-game winning streak to the Rays. They were also 11-1 in their past twelve matches, and so the Rays were scoring hot. It was unrealistic to think they were just planning to keep winning that pace. However, they have to prevent a enormous thud now.
Despite the great run they went , the Rays are barely clinging to a spot in the postseason in the American League. They are trying to fend off the Indians for its final wildcard. Currently, a half game edge is held by that the Rays and also are a game back from the Athletics to get homefield at the Wild Card Game. In the postseason now, they are not without that run by the Rays .
Variance can be an ugly thing to get a team and the Rays are expecting that the two games aren’t a larger signal to come. This series on the shore in Anaheim is important. By the close of the weekendthey have homefield advantage on Athletics or even the Indians, or even may be taking a look at the postseason in the exterior, in possession of the end wildcard.
There’s a lot happening and it should make for an exciting finish. Charlie Morton hopes to maintain the fireworks to a minimum for the Angels tonight. Although has managed to settle down he has torched a couple of games before. Andrew Heaney, five-year Angel, is expected to counter for the Angels. Head below for our free Rays vs. Angels pick.

The best pitchers in baseball understand how to put performances together. It’s very tough to prevent a spot here and there, also Charlie Morton found out the hard way recently against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid. Morton was pummeled from his former team for 6 earned runs at a 15-1 reduction.
Instead of sticking it to his team, Morton was all around the place. He could have become that one feeling a little too excited and it caused a lack of control. His head was not clear that is for certain.
Morton was able to show that it wasn’t a prelude to worse to come. He got back in the saddle and then neutralized the Indians in a wonderful outing. Morton held them hits and 1-run in 5.1 innings of work. He had been commendable in his next start, resulting in to Rays to a win over the Blue Jays.
Morton surrendered 3 earned runs in 6 innings in which one. He’s been effective from the Angels in his career, as they have struck .224 against him 143 at-bats. The Angels got to him for a triumph in his most recent appearance against them.
Andrew Heaney is average, however, the Angels are comfortable understanding what sort of operation they will get from him. Being consistently average will have to alter in Anaheim shortly, by pitching for par, however, for a guy like Heaney, he could carve out a career.
Heaney posted an ERA of 4.15 final year and also has a 4.30 ERA going into tonight. He possesses an ERA of 4.24 and also 1.29 WHIP in his past three outings, together with a 4.47 ERA along with 1.31 WHIP at home. Vanilla Throughout the plank for Heaney.
However, his last two outings have been vanilla. As Heaney has allowed 8 earned runs in his 11 innings, they have looked a bit tacky. Luckily, he was saved by the offense against the White Sox within an 8-7 win, however he didn’t get exactly the exact same.
He might be ordinary tonightbut I do not think that is going to be great enough Morton on Friday night. The Rays got the losses out of the system in Arlington and I find them getting back on track within this one with an important win. Happy Friday the 13th everybody!
