Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The 'Under 7.5' bet for the Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays game is a sound choice given the recent performance of both teams. The Rays have struggled offensively, averaging just 2.2 runs per game overall and a mere 1.6 when playing away. Their batting average and home runs are also significantly lower than the Orioles. On the other hand, while the Orioles have been scoring more, averaging 4 runs per game, their runs allowed average is high at 5.8. This suggests their defense is not as solid, potentially limiting the number of runs in the game. Additionally, both teams have decent pitching strikeout averages, which could further suppress the run total. Therefore, the likelihood of the total runs staying under 7.5 is quite high based on these stats.
