MIKE'S **EARLY** MLB MONEYLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Chi Cubs, 05/31/2023 2:20 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Money Line: -132.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
This looks like a good spot to back the Rays who will be looking to bounce back after opening the week with two losses to the Cubs. They scored only one run across those two games, but here they'll face Cubs left-hander Justin Steele who has posted an ERA of 5.74 over his last three starts.

Steele gave up four runs over 2 2/3 innings when he faced the Rays last year.

Tampa Bay starter Zach Eflin (7-1, 3.17 ERA) is 2-1 with a 2.27 ERA in five starts against the Cubs. Eflin is perfect 6-0 with an ERA of 2.43 in six day starts this season.

The Cubs are 10-16 in day games in 2023.

The Rays have cooled off since their red-hot start to the season, but at this price, I'm still more than happy to back one of the best teams in baseball.

10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS.
