The Tampa Bay Rays (39-25) go for the sweep against their AL East rival Boston Red Sox (27-38) on Wednesday afternoon in Florida to kick off the MLB slate. The first two games of the series have been low-scoring and tightly contested, but the Rays have managed to come away with a 3-1 win Monday night and a 4-3 victory Tuesday night.
The Red Sox grabbed an early 1-0 lead Tuesday after Jarren Duran’s RBI single in the third inning, but Tampa Bay responded with a three-run fourth inning and added another run in the sixth. Boston made things interesting in the eighth, scoring two runs with no outs against starter Nick Martinez to cut the deficit to one, but Kevin Kelly and Bryan Baker shut the door out of the bullpen to preserve the win.
After losing 10 of their previous 13 games entering this series, the Rays appear to be regaining their footing as one of the top teams in baseball. Tampa Bay will turn to Drew Rasmussen in its bid for a sweep, while the Red Sox will send 25-year-old left-hander Jake Bennett to the mound in hopes of salvaging the series.

Red Sox vs. Rays Picks & Predictions for June 10
Below is a featured pick from Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook’s Stats Hub for Wednesday afternoon’s series finale:

Red Sox vs. Rays Best Bet: Yandy Díaz Over 1.5 Total Bases
Yandy Díaz enters Wednesday leading the American League with a .325 batting average and is hitting .419 through his first eight games of June. The Rays’ designated hitter is also riding a six-game hitting streak that includes two three-hit performances.
Díaz has gone over 1.5 total bases in three of his last five games, including a four-total-base performance in Monday’s series opener thanks to a solo home run in the first inning.
He is expected to face Red Sox starter Jake Bennett, who has not pitched in the majors since May 7. In that outing, Bennett allowed six hits and four earned runs, and right-handed hitters are batting .333 against him this season.
At plus money, this prop is difficult to ignore.
