Tampa Bay is a -267 favorite in the latest Rays vs. A's odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Oakland is a +215 underdog. The over/under for runs scored is 8.5. The game is one of eight on the MLB schedule for Monday. (See up-to-date lines for every game on our MLB odds page.)

Before making any MLB picks or parlays, be sure to see the predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven computer model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It went 331-285 on top-rated MLB money-line picks (+357) over the past two seasons. It has opened the 2023 MLB season on a 33-25 roll on all-top rated MLB picks. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns!

Now, the model has set its sights on the MLB schedule for Monday and has generated a three-leg parlay that would pay almost 6-1! The parlay doesn't start until 7:45 p.m. ET, giving you plenty of time to make your MLB picks.

We can tell you that one of the picks is the Reds (+100) to beat the Royals. Cincinnati (31-35) has won back-to-back series against the Dodgers and Cardinals and sit in third place in the NL Central. Meanwhile, Kansas City (18-47) has the second worst record in baseball, better than only Oakland. In addition, the Reds are 5-2 in the last seven meetings against the Royals in Kansas City. 

The model also has two other confident picks, including a play on a National League underdog! You ABSOLUTELY need to see them before locking in any MLB picks of your own.
