Drew Rasmussen has had a great month of August, including an outing in which he carried a perfect game into the ninth inning of his start a week and a half ago. He and the Tampa Bay Rays will face off with Patrick Sandoval and the Los Angeles Angels.
Sandoval has been a bright spot in the Angels' subpar 2022 campaign, aside from their owner, Arte Moreno, exploring a sale of the team. Sandoval has a 3.14 ERA, but his xERA eclipses 4.00 (4.15), so this means he is serviceable still but extremely fortunate on the hill. This may be partly due to his lack of command. He owns a 10.3% walk rate, so issuing free passes means he has to strand runners consistently.
The Rays know how to walk and have hit left-handers well in August (117 wRC+). They also own a team walk rate over 9% against southpaws, so Sandoval is a great matchup for their lineup.
Since the Rays' moneyline is a bit steep, we’ll target their team total over.
