Tampa Bay heads west to face Oakland in Sacramento with Drew Rasmussen (TB) opposing J.T. Ginn (OAK). The Rays carry a 58-63 mark into a 12-game West Coast swing, 9th road tilt on the trip, while Oakland sits at 54-68 after a 6-0 Game 2 win that steadied the series. The latest numbers lean toward the under 9.0 with Tampa Bay listed around -130 on the moneyline and a -1.5 spread. Rasmussen owns a clean 2.66 ERA (9-5) and fired a 0 ER start last time out; Ginn is 2-4 with a 4.39 ERA and posted a 5.40 ERA in his last appearance with 9 strikeouts. For fantasy and bets, Rasmussen looks like the safer floor play, Ginn a riskier, bullpen-friendly streamer option.

Model projections align with a low-scoring night, favoring the under at 9.0 and the A’s covering the 1.5; the Rays’ road-weary stretch makes Oakland a live underdog. Depth charts hint at a grind-it-out game, where Rasmussen’s control could tilt the balance and Ginn’s stuff might be enough for a handful of strikeouts but risk against a patient Rays lineup. In short, Rasmussen is a solid cash-forward option; Ginn is a dart throw with upside in limited formats.
