Tampa is looking impressive early on and are listed with 25-1 odds to win the 2019 World Series (a $100 bet pays out $2500).

Morton has been professional in his first two starts with the Rays, allowing two runs on seven hits across 11 total innings with 14 strikeouts and four walks. The 35-year-old New Jersey native blanked Colorado in six frames Wednesday, but settled for a no-decision in a 1-0 extra-inning loss. Yoan Moncada is 2-for-3 versus Morton, who beat the White Sox last year despite giving up five runs over 5 2/3 innings.

Santana is expected to make his first start with the White Sox after signing as a free agent, following a 2018 season plagued by injury. The 36-year-old Dominican Republic native, who is one victory from 150 in his career, made just five starts with Minnesota last year due mostly to a finger injury. Mike Zunino (3-for-6) and Avisail Garcia (7-for-27) have each homered twice against Santana, who is 7-7 with a 5.31 ERA in 17 starts versus the Rays.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
