THE HOT CORNER
TODD DEWEY Review-Journal, 43-29-1 (overall record)
Today’s best bet: TAMPA BAY RAYS (-145) over Philadelphia Phillies
The Cinderella Rays have bounced back all season and look for that trend to continue tonight in Game 2 of the World Series. Tampa owns baseball’s best home record (61-27), is 3-1 after a playoff loss and 17-6 after scoring three runs or less in two straight games. After losing Game 1 of the ALCS 2-0 to the Red Sox, the Rays exploded for nine runs in a Game 2 triumph and scored 38 runs in their next four games.
