Los Angeles Angels vs Tampa Bay Rays: NRFI (-140)
It's only fitting that we get our early plays started with the first game of the day. We also have a same game parlay for you to get started with, so be sure to check that out. There hasn't been a run scored in the 1st inning of this series so far, and there's no reason that should change. The Angels have been one of the worst offensive teams this season, especially on the road. Their 3.42 runs per game away from home is the 4th-worst in the league, and they now face Rays starter Drew Rasmussen.
