Los Angeles Angels @ Tampa Bay Rays – 1.10PM ET
This Sunday afternoon clash between the Los Angeles Angels and the Tampa Bay Rays will be the third and final game of the mini series. The first game was played on Friday, where the Rays managed to draw first blood playing at home, narrowly winning 4-3. The second game was played on Saturday, and the Rays were much more dominant in their win, 13-3.
The Los Angeles Angels are having an okay season but will need to pick up their game if they want to make it to the postseason, they are currently sitting on a 36-40 season record. They are the second last team of their West Division in the American League, with the Rangers the only team behind them.
The Angels have only won three games out of their last ten, and this does include a series win against the Tigers (3-1) and a series loss to the Giants (0-2). When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are in the top third of the league, with an average of 4.8.

The Tampa Bay Rays are having an awesome season in terms of results, they are currently sitting on a 47-31 season record. They are currently the top team in the East Division in the American League, with the Red Sox their closest rivals.
The Rays have only won four games out of their last ten (but this does include four on the trot), and this includes a series loss to the Mariners (0-4) as well as a series win against the Red Sox (2-1). The Rays are also in the top third of the league when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 4.82.
It looks like the Rays are back on track after suffering a sizable losing streak, and they have now won four games in a row. Last time out, the Rays were completely dominant against the Angels. When looking at the Angels, they don’t have the best away record this season, currently at 15-20. We like the look of the Rays to back up again and sweep this series.
MLB Pick – Tampa Bay Rays (-152)

Atlanta Braves @ Cincinnati Reds – 1.10PM ET
This Sunday afternoon clash between the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds will be the fourth and final game of the mini series. The first game was played on Thursday and the Reds managed to draw first blood playing at home, winning 5-3. The second game was played on Friday, where the Braves managed to strike back, narrowly winning 3-2. The third game was played on Saturday, and the Reds managed to strike back themselves, winning 4-1.
The Atlanta Braves are having an okay season but will need to pick up their game if they want to make it to the postseason, they are currently sitting on a 36-40 season record. They are the middle team of their East Division in the National League, with the Mets and the Nationals the two teams ahead of them.
The Braves have won five games out of their last ten, and this does include a series tie with the Mets (2-2). When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are in the top third of the league, with an average of 4.6.
The Cincinnati Reds are also having an okay season but will need to pick up their game if they want to make it to the postseason, they are currently sitting on a 38-37 season record. They are the middle team of their Central Division in the National League, with the Brewers and the Cubs the two teams ahead of them.
The Reds have only won four games out of their last ten, and this does include a series loss to the Pares (0-4) as well as a series tie with the Twins (1-1). When it comes to average runs scored per game, the Reds are also in the top third of the league, with an average of 4.97.
This has been quite a see-sawing affair this series, and we are very interested in seeing who will come out on top. Both teams are on a similar season record, and last ten record, so it is a tricky one to pick. As well as this we can’t get any guidance from their home or away record this season either. But we do like the Reds to get back-to-back wins and claim the series.
MLB Pick – Cincinnati Reds (-156)

Seattle Mariners @ Chicago White Sox – TBD
This Sunday afternoon clash between the Seattle Mariners and the Chicago White Sox will be the continuation of the second game of a three game mini series, after the second game was suspended at the bottom of the 3rd innings on Saturday due to heavy rain.
The first game was played on Friday, where the Mariners managed to draw first blood, winning 9-3. At the moment it is looking like the second and third game of this series will take place on Sunday, this review is for the first of the two games, with a time for the first game yet to be determined.
The Seattle Mariners are having an okay season but will need to pick up their game if they want to make it to the postseason, they are currently sitting on a 40-37 season record. They are the middle team of their West Division in the American League, with the Angels and the Rangers the two teams behind them.
The Mariners have won eight games out of their last ten, and this does include series wins against the Twins (2-1) and the Rays (4-0) as well as a series tie with the Rockies (1-1). When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are in the bottom third of the league, with an average of 4.1.
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) June 26, 2021
The Chicago White Sox are having an awesome season in terms of results, they are currently sitting on a 44-31 season record. They are currently the top team in the Central Division in the American League, with the Indians their closest rivals.
The White Sox have only won three games out of their last ten, and this includes a series win against the Rays (2-1), a series loss to the Astros (0-4) as well as a series tie with the Pirates (1-1). The White Sox are in the top third of the league when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 4.79.
This game continues at the bottom of the 3rd innings, with the score 0-0. The Mariners have been playing pretty well as of late, but they will definitely need to keep up this form if they want to make it into the postseason.
We are kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop with the Mariners, as we don’t think they can keep up this good form for much longer, especially with a team like the White Sox. The White Sox are also due for a win, and they are 40-13 in their previous 53 games when they are the home favorites.
MLB Pick – Chicago White Sox (-180)

Kansas City Royals @ Texas Rangers – 2.35PM ET
This Sunday afternoon clash between the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers will be the third and final game of the mini series. The first game was played on Friday and the Rangers managed to draw first blood playing at home, winning 9-4. The second game was played on Saturday, where the Rangers made it two from two in a dominant performance, winning 8-0.
The Kansas City Royals are not having the season they would have hoped for, they are currently sitting on a 33-42 season record. They are the middle team of their Central Division in the American League, with the White Sox and the Indians the two teams ahead of them.
The Royals have only won three games out of their last ten, and this does include a series win against the Red Sox (2-1) and a series loss to the Yankees (1-2). When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are in the middle third of the league, with an average of 4.2.
The Texas Rangers are also not having the season they would have hoped for, they are currently sitting on a 28-48 season record. They are the bottom team of their West Division in the American League, with the Angels their closest rivals.
The Rangers have only won four games out of their last ten, and this does include a series loss to the Twins (0-3) as well as a series tie with the Athletics (2-2). When it comes to average runs scored per game, the Rangers are in the bottom third of the league, with an average of 4.4.
Two teams with a negative season record will face off again and it looks like they are both struggling for recent form as well. The Royals do not have a good away record this season, currently at 15-22. The Rangers are even worse away from home, but their home record is fairly decent considering how many total wins they have this season. Rangers also have all the momentum leading into this game, winning the previous two, so we will be backing the Rangers for a sweep in the series.
MLB Pick – Texas Rangers (-110)

The last game between the Cubs and the Dodgers was a doozy, with the Dodgers getting the win in the 9th innings, we would like to see more of this on Sunday night! Both teams have a good season record, but are struggling slightly as of late and will need to continue their winning ways if they want to safely book a place in the postseason. The Dodgers have a great record playing at home this season, 24-13, and they have the momentum, we will be backing the Dodgers.
