(925) Cleveland Guardians at (926) Tampa Bay Rays: Moneyline
8:08pm EDT - Oct 19/2026

THE PLAY: Tampa Bay Rays -154 Freddy Peralta (RHP) Must Start

Tampa Bay starter Freddy Peralta projects to give up 1.8 runs with a 2.98 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.  Cleveland’s lineup has hit just .171 (7-41) with a weak .442 OPS against Peralta in his career.  The Guardians will throw a bullpen game and open with Shawn Armstrong.  The rest of their options following Armstrong are pretty weak overall.  With the starting pitching clearly in the Tampa Bay’s favor, look for the Rays to get a solid home win in this game on Monday night.

Play RAYS (-).
