BIG AL's MLB ROADKILL WINNER (47-29 RUN)!

Analysis: At 1:40 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Los Angeles Angels. Shane McClanahan is no stranger to injury. The Ray's 29-year-old southpaw starter spent the latter part of 2023 and then all of 2024 out with elbow problems that required surgery. Hoping to return in 2025, McClanahan developed a triceps nerve issue and only had a handful of starts in the Minors trying to work his way back to the Big League club. Well he's finally made it back and the Tampa ace is certainly making up for lost time in a big way. In 10 starts covering 50 innings, McClanahan is 5-2 with a 2.52 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 50 strikeouts and 19 walks and only 33 hits allowed. He'll get start number 11 this afternoon against the Angels, a team he's had quite a bit of success against. In four career starts vs. Los Angeles, McClanahan is 1-0 with a sparkling 1.17 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 32 strikeouts and six walks in 23 innings. Despite the loss yesterday, the Rays are 3-1 in the last four meetings with the Halos. Take Tampa. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
