The Tampa Bay Rays did not fare well in the opening game of their series with the Toronto Blue Jays, dropping yesterday's game 11-1. The Rays will look to turn things around by sending Shane McClanahan to the mound to make today's start. So far this season, he has posted a 3-2 record to go with a 4.09 ERA and 61 strikeouts. The Blue Jays are riding high after yesterday's bombardment of the Rays pitching staff. The Jays will look to keep things going by turning the ball over to Ross Stripling. Stripling has posted a 3-4 record this season with a 4.27 ERA and 68 strikeouts.

Tampa Bay is on a five-game losing streak while Toronto is 9-3 in their last 12 games overall and 8-3 in their last 11 games as a favorite. Tampa Bay has given up 39 runs in their last five games. Ray's starter Shane McClanahan has a 5.01 ERA in his five starts in June, while Ross Stripling has allowed two or fewer runs in six out of his last seven starts. I like the Jay's bats in this one to get the job done.

Play on Toronto.
