Tampa Bay Rays at A's odds, picks and predictions
The Tampa Bay Rays (57-62) and the A's (53-67) open a 3-game series Monday at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. First pitch is scheduled for 10:05 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's MLB odds around the Rays vs. A's odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets. Season series: A's lead 2-1 The Rays are in the midst of a 12-game West Coast road trip. It started out OK, as Tampa Bay won 2 of 3 games in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. However, the Rays were swept in 3 games over the weekend against the Seattle Mariners. Tampa Bay was outscored 16-9 in the sweep, as the Over cashed in 2 of the outings. In Sunday's 6-3 loss against the Mariners, the Rays fell behind 4-0. However, Tampa Bay closed the deficit to 4-3, and that's how it stayed heading to the bottom of the seventh inning. However, the bullpen allowed a run in both the seventh and eighth innings. OF Chandler Simpson was 2-for-5 with a double, a triple and run scored from the leadoff spot. SS Ha-Seong Kim went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and 2 RBIs. The A's are returning home after winning 2 of 3 games in both a road series in Washington, and a road series in Baltimore over the weekend. The A's edged Baltimore 3-2 on Sunday as the Under (9) cashed. They were down 2-1 heading to the ninth inning, but the A's scored twice in the top of the frame to steal the game in Charm City. C Willie MacIver delivered the 2-run double in the top of the ninth to win it. The A's are a respectable 11-5 in the past 16 games, while the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games, and 13-3-1 in the past 17 outings. Rays at A's projected starters RHP Ryan Pepiot vs. LHP Jeffrey Springs Pepiot (7-9, 3.77 ERA) makes his 25th start of the season. He has a 1.18 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 136 innings. Springs (10-7, 3.89 ERA) makes his 23rd start and 25th appearance. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 7.3 K/9 through 132 innings.

Rays at A's odds Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 6:39 a.m. ET. Rays at A's picks and predictions A's 5, Rays 3 Moneyline The A'S (-115) are a solid play behind Springs, the former Rays starter. Tampa Bay is just 14-18 against left-handed starting pitchers, and Springs should pitch with a little extra oomph against his old team, trying to kick them while they're down. The A's have been a pain for a lot of teams lately, and while they're just 23-34 at home, Springs is 4-1 in his past 7 starts. Run line/Against the spread If you're a bit conservative, and you just can't back the A's straight up, you could take them +1.5 (-185). That's a little too expensive for me, however. If you were toss them into a multi-leg parlay, it would be OK to use the A's, but don't do it as a standalone bet. AVOID, and just play the A's straight up. Over/Under UNDER 10 (-115) might be the best play on the board in this series opener. The Under is 5-3-1 in the past 9 games for the Rays, while going 13-3-1 in the past 17 outings for the A's. The Under is 7-3 in the past 10 meetings in this series since May 28, 2024, too. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now! For more sports betting picks and tips, check out and BetFTW.

The Sports Report: A tough loss for the Dodgers
From Kevin Baxter: The Toronto Blue Jays did everything possible to hand the Dodgers a victory Sunday. Their pitchers gave up 10 hits, including two home runs. They walked 13, a season-high for the Dodgers, twice loading the bases on free passes in the final two innings. At the plate, Toronto struck out 14 times. The Dodgers, however, refused to accept the gift, giving up an eighth-inning lead in a 5-4 loss that dropped their lead over the San Diego Padres in the National League West to two games. The Padres trailed by six games less than three weeks ago. 'This is frustrating because I just felt there's no way we should lose this game today,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. 'We had them on the ropes numerous times. And for us not to win is so frustrating.' How frustrating? The Dodgers were one for 10 with runners in scoring position. They left a season-high 16 men on base — six in the last two innings. Continue reading here Jen Pawol praised for work behind plate after breaking MLB umpire gender barrier Dodgers box score MLB scores MLB standings Kerry Carpenter homered and drove in four runs to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Angels 9-5 on Sunday. Carpenter doubled and scored in the first, hit a sacrifice fly in the second and added a three-run homer in the fourth. Casey Mize (11-4) got the win, allowing two runs on three hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out five. Jack Kochanowicz (3-10) took the loss. He gave up seven runs on 10 hits in three-plus innings.

On Sunday night, the same stakes were at play as the teams tried to strengthen their playoff chances. The intensity didn't let up till the final horn. With 5.6 seconds left, Dearica Hamby roared into the paint and scored on a driving layup to put the Sparks ahead for good. After the Storm missed their final chance to win, pandemonium spilled onto the floor — Sparks players leaping into one another's arms, fans hollering over the hardwood, chanting 'Hamby' in celebration of the Sparks' 94-91 victory. 'We're playing for that kind of game,' said guard Julie Allemand, who had eight assists, 'it's exciting to play that kind of game. At the end, when you make the great shot that we need, it's a great feeling.' Continue reading here Sparks box score WNBA standings From Ben Bolch: Try as one might to keep Nico Iamaleava under wraps, the media viewing sessions at UCLA's football training camp shorter than the lifespan of a soap bubble, several trends have emerged. The Tennessee transfer unquestionably has a strong arm. Every pass is thrown with purpose and usually on target. The wiry 6-foot-6, 215-pound redshirt sophomore has a quick release. When he faced heavy pressure during the only team period open to reporters Saturday afternoon, Iamaleava smartly and swiftly completed a short pass when no better options were available. The guy can improvise. Scanning the defense for a weakness, Iamaleava scurried up the middle for a touchdown, making the right decision on what appeared to be a run-pass option play. Continue reading here From Ira Gorawara: In 2020, inside the clang-and-clatter of Neshoba Central High's powerlifting gym, Jarquez Hunter's coach laid down a dare: squat 645 pounds on three counts. With a nod and quick coat of chalk, Hunter went to work. Challenges don't faze him. At a Mississippi water company three years prior, Hunter's co-workers coaxed him into a pickup basketball game. Still in his button-down shirt and cowboy boots, the 5-foot-9 Hunter went airborne. And dunked. In those same boots, the Rams' rookie running back completed more delicate tests: He patiently broke and nurtured a horse that he eventually rode across Auburn's campus. 'Stay true to the thing you're doing,' Hunter said. On Saturday at SoFi Stadium, Hunter made his NFL debut in a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, Lining up behind quarterback Stetson Bennett, he took a handoff on a third-and-six play and mimicked a sprinter stealing a head start — his shoulders low and knees churning. Hunter knifed through the defense and broke for an 11-yard gain. Continue reading here From Anthony De Leon: Last season, the Chargers were one of the healthier teams in the league, but injuries have hit hard in the preseason this year — enough to cancel an upcoming joint practice with the Rams. As a result, coach Jim Harbaugh once again turned to his rookies and backups on Sunday, giving them the reins early to gauge the team's depth. The Chargers defeated the New Orleans Saints 27-13 in a preseason game at SoFi Stadium. Here are some takeaways from the game: Continue reading here Danny Musovski scored a goal in each half and 18-year-old Snyder Brunell scored in his league debut as the Seattle Sounders cruised to a 4-0 victory over the Galaxy on Sunday night. Seattle grabbed the lead in the 25th minute on an own goal by defender Julián Aude. The Sounders took a 2-0 lead in the 37th minute on Musovski's unassisted goal. He made it 3-0 in the 54th minute with another unassisted goal. Musovski has already scored a career-high eight times this season. He had five goals with LAFC as a rookie in 2020 and five for Real Salt Lake in 2023.

How is Carlos Correa learning to play third base? By studying the league's best
Carlos Correa is a baseball connoisseur. Conversations with him often include offhand mentions of advanced metrics or other minutiae he's gleaned from watching players across the league. Baseball's best third basemen stay low before a pitch is released, Correa has learned, allowing them ample time to gauge a ground ball's trajectory. Advertisement 'At shortstop,' Correa explained last week, 'you have to stand taller because you have to move more.' For two years, Correa sought a switch to third base. On the day he secured it, Correa opened YouTube and started studying. He searched for highlights of the three players who pass a Platinum Glover's eye test, those who will assist a lifelong shortstop in this long-awaited transition. Nolan Arenado, Matt Chapman and Manny Machado 'look like they are the best at the position,' according to Correa. The 17 Gold Gloves and eight Platinum Gloves among them support the claim. Each stays low, snares everything in sight and has set a standard for third base defense during the modern era. 'When I look at them and the way they play, the way they attack the ball, the way they attack the angles, the way the arm slot is when they make the throws, it just looks right,' Correa said. Correa looks right on the left side of any infield. He has won both a Gold Glove and Platinum Glove, but only as a shortstop, the position where he made each of his first 1,190 defensive starts as a major leaguer. Reuniting with the Houston Astros fulfilled Correa's wishes to play third base, where less movement is required and injury risk can be diminished. That he arrived back in Houston worth minus-11 defensive runs saved as a shortstop this season can't be overlooked, either. Correa will turn 31 in September and, if he converts the four options in his complicated contract, could remain with the Astros through his age-37 season. Longevity matters to Correa, especially after a myriad of injuries, including missing 76 games last year, during his Minnesota Twins tenure. To learn the nuances of his new position, Correa is studying plays from each of Arenado's, Chapman's and Machado's Gold Glove seasons. He streams their highlights on YouTube during his downtime, such as the four flights he took during the 10-game trip Houston just completed. If the Cardinals, Giants or Padres are playing on an Astros off day or around their schedule, Correa will watch their third basemen on a team-issued iPad. Advertisement 'For me, it's about seeing how deep they play with slow runners, fast runners, double plays, infield in, guys that bunt, all that,' Correa said. 'Just analyzing all the little details so I can get more comfortable at the position. 'Those are obviously things I have to keep practicing before the games so in the games they feel natural. But by watching film, I can anticipate before plays happen what I will do depending on where the ball is going to be hit.' Each of the three offers a different attribute for Correa to analyze. The accuracy of Arenado's throws, no matter where a play takes the six-time Platinum Glover, amazes Correa. So does an internal clock Correa called 'the best of anyone in the league.' Machado's different arm angles are instructive for Correa, as is his uncanny ability to know pre-pitch where a ball may be hit, especially with runners on Machado has also alternated between shortstop and third base is helpful, Correa said. 'I watch Chapman the most,' Correa said, a byproduct of seeing him so often while both played in the American League West. During his five seasons with the A's, Chapman stole more hits from Correa than he cares to remember. 'I'm flattered that he's watching my video and looking at things that I do. That's a compliment to me,' said Chapman, who called Correa 'one of the best infielders in the major leagues. 'For him, I don't really have any advice. He's such a good baseball player. Just trust his instincts. He has great instincts. I imagine it's going to be a pretty quick transition, easy transition for him.' Without prompt, Chapman agreed with Correa's initial analysis that third basemen must get lower before a pitch is released. Correa's biggest adjustment, Chapman said, will be the angles he takes to ground balls and refining his pre-pitch positioning. Chapman himself is helping the transition. 'I watch his film and I analyze the depth that he plays at, I analyze pre-pitch movement, the different slots that he uses depending on where the ball is hit,' Correa said. Correa isn't attempting to mimic any of the aforementioned third basemen. Doing so would be difficult — Correa, at 6-4, stands at least two inches taller than all of them and still has some habits that none of them display. Some of Correa's routes, for example, have resembled those of a shortstop instead of a traditional third baseman. Shortstops make somewhat of a semicircle when approaching ground balls hit straight at them, creating an ideal angle to throw across the diamond. A straight-line path is more efficient for third basemen. Advertisement 'That's going to be more important when I take my reps during practice to make it more natural for me,' Correa said. 'For me, the super slow rollers — the tappers you have to go full-speed on and throw across your body — those are going to be the most difficult plays, especially when you have to go barehanded. I never went barehanded at shortstop.' Correa never needed to. He fielded primarily with one hand as a shortstop, which Astros manager Joe Espada said will ease his transition to third base, where that is the norm. Correa's arm strength will allow the club to play him farther back, too, giving him more time to read ground balls coming quicker than ever before. 'His game presence and his game savvy will help him at third base,' said Astros infield coach Tony Perezchica. 'The ball is coming at him at a different rate, more of a top spin hooking away from him. At shortstop, you kind of get everything right at you a little bit more. Those are the things he just has to see. You can practice it all day, but he has to see it in a game.' Correa is insistent on it. He arrived at loanDepot Park on Wednesday aware of a planned day off for Jeremy Peña, Houston's heir apparent to him at shortstop. Correa could've reprised his role in Peña's he did tb during his second game back in an Astros uniform. Instead, for the sixth, Correa asked to remain at third base. He needs all the exposure possible, but that Correa even played at all is evidence that the benefits of this switch are beginning to emerge. The Miami Marlins' ballpark has artificial turf. Correa had not played three consecutive games on the surface in the past three years. 'You can look it up,' Correa said on Thursday. 'I always go two and (then) an off day because the turf is tough on me when I was a shortstop. Today, I feel fantastic after playing three days on turf.' 'I played six in a row, and I know I played one of those at shortstop, but I feel fresh. That's something I knew would happen when I made the move to third and I felt like it would give me more longevity in my career if I made that move sooner rather than later.'
