MLB Betting Preview
Tampa Bay Rays at New York Mets
Saturday, 4:10 pm Eastern – Fox

The Tampa Bay Rays continue their Interleague series against the New York Mets on Saturday in what could be a pitcher’s duel. James Shields gets the start for the Rays while Johan Santana will be on the mound for the Mets. Playing at Citi Field should definitely be interesting for the Rays with their speedy outfield. "We're pretty good in the outfield defensively," manager Joe Maddon said, "If it's a bigger yard, it can help us with our outfield defense."

Check out the current line for this game at SBG Global.

Heading into Friday’s contest the Rays were 6-3 in Interleague play this season and were averaging 7.1 runs per game. Before this series began the Rays were 5-7 all-time against the Mets although the teams had not met since the 2001 season.
