The battle between the two biggest surprises of the MLB season continues Wednesday when the Tampa Bay Rays (24-6) host the Pittsburgh Pirates (20-10) in the second game of a three-game series. The Rays took the opener 4-1 to become the 15th team of the modern era to win 24 of its first 30 games.  

First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Rays are -220 favorites (risk $220 to win $100), while the Pirates are priced at +180 (risk $100 to win $180) in the latest Caesars Sportsbook MLB odds. The over/under for total runs scored is 7. That game is one of 16 on a packed Wednesday MLB schedule. (See up-to-date lines for every game on our MLB odds page.)
