bagels

----------------------------------------------------

Las Vegas - Bagels all around. Tampa's Drew Rasmussen has been twirling in the MLB since 2020, and it looks like he is getting better with each year. Since coming to the Rays back in 2021, his ERA has never been above 3.00. In 2021 he posted a 2.44 ERA, then a 2.84 in 2022, a 2.62 in 2023, a 2.83 in 2024 and is sitting on 2.33 this season. But in the save your best for last category, since May 17, he has fed 18 innings worth of bagels to the Marlins, Blue Jays and Twins. Tampa has won nine of its last 12 overall and seven of the last eight at home. In the other dugout, Texas has lost five of the last six on the road, so my wallet is wide open for the boys from the Sunshine State.
