Joe Ryan is usually a good option for the Twins. Minnesota won four of his last five starts as he's posted a 1.96 ERA in May. But the headline at the moment is the Rays, now on a tear with six wins on the spin, allowing only 10 runs the entirety of the win streak. The offense is starting to stir now, banging out 17 runs across wins the past two days. No problem with Tuesday starter Taj Bradley, who's won three of his last four starts, and has fared well enough in all but one of his last six outings (that on May 16 vs. the Marlins) while usually lasting thru at least six innings in recent efforts. Play Rays on the Money Line.
