Tampa Bay Rays +100 at JAMAICA |
in 3h |
FREE PLAY A big series between the top two teams in the A.L. East starts on Friday night in Tampa Bay as the Rays host the Yankees. New York is sending the struggling Phil Hughes to the mound. He's 2-1 with a 5.19 ERA in his last three starts. The righty is sporting a 6.26 ERA over his last seven starts and he is struggling due to the increased innings hes pitched. Hughes has given up at least six hits in five straight starts and in eight of his last nine starts overall. He hasn't started against the Rays since 2007 when he went 1-1 in two outings. B.J. Upton (2-6), Carl Crawford (2-5), Carlos Pena (2-3), Jason Bartlett (1-1), and Reid Brignac (1-1) all hit Hughes well. Tampa has won six straight games and seven of their last eight games overall. They are 25-13 against the A.L. East whom they score an average of 5.8 runs per game against. After a slow start, Wade Davis has bounced back big time for Tampa Bay. The righty is 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA giving up just five runs over his last 21.3 innings of work. Davis is 1-1 against the Yankees defeating them the last time they met. He held New York to two runs and seven hits in 5.7 innings of work. Mark Teixeira (1-7), Nick Swisher (0-4), and Juan Miranda (0-2) have poor numbers against Davis. The Yankees are hitting just .256 on the road, and since we expect Tampa Bay to hit Hughes well, well recommend a play on the Rays in this game tonight. |

FREE PLAY Washingtons Scott Olsen makes his return from the DL on Thursday when the Nationals host the Braves. Olsen is 2-2 with a 3.77 ERA in eight starts this season. At home, he has struggled giving up 12 runs and 21 hits in four starts there. Olsen is a mixed bag against Atlanta. Earlier this season, he held them to two hits in 7.3 innings pitched in Washington. But his career numbers show him at 3-5 with a 5.73 ERA in 13 career starts against the Braves. Chipper Jones (13-28), Matt Diaz (11-28), Brian McCann (6-23), Martin Prado (5-12), and Omar Infante (3-11) all have good numbers against the lefties. As a team, Atlanta has gone Over the total in 17 of their 33 games against southpaws and Over the total in 19 of their 33 daytime games; they are hitting .277 in the daytime scoring 5.6 runs per game. They've also gone Over in 8 of their last 11 games. Atlantas Derek Lowe has struggled from time to time this season. On the road, the righty is 3-5 with a 4.78 ERA in 11 starts this season. He lost to Washington in Atlanta already this season giving up four runs and eight hits in 5.7 innings of work. That's his second straight loss to the Nationals as Ryan Zimmerman (10-36), Cristian Guzman (12-32), Adam Kennedy (13-32), Nyjer Morgan (9-16), Alberto Gonzalez (5-11), Ian Desmond (2-4), and Michael Morse (1-3) all smack Lowe around. The Nationals hit over .275 as a team at home this season, and with their previous success against Lowe, we expect the Nationals to score plenty of runs here making this a high-scoring game. |

The Tigers and Rays wrap up their series on Thursday with an afternoon affair. Tampas David Price will enjoy coming home after two rough road starts. Price is 6-1 with a 2.04 ERA in eight starts at the Trop with five of those games going Under the total. Price last faced the Tigers back in August of 2009 in Detroit. In that game, he gave up one run and five hits in 7.3 innings of work. Johnny Damon (1-6), Ryan Raburn (0-5), Miguel Cabrera (0-4), and Ramon Santiago (0-1) have had the least success against the lefty. Detroit has gone Under in 10 of their last 13 games as their lineup has been ravaged by injuries. They've scored just 40 runs over their last 14 games, and the team has gone Under in 22 of their 41 daytime games. Detroits Rick Porcello's return from the minors has been an improvement from the first half of the year. In two outings, he has given up 4 runs and 11 hits in 14 innings pitched against Toronto and Cleveland. The righty defeated the Rays last year giving up one run and four hits in 5.7 innings of work. Tampa hitters are 2 for 16 against the righty with only Carl Crawford (1-2) and Kelly Shoppach (1-2) getting hits. The Rays have gone Under the total in six of their last nine games. Surprisingly, even with all their offense, they are hitting just under .250 at home as a team. They have gone Under in 27 of their 49 home games this season, and we expect another low-scoring game this afternoon. Play UNDER the total. |
