#925 ASA PLAY ON Tampa Bay -105 over Miami, Friday at 7:10 PM ET - The Marlins not only were handed a shutout yesterday they hardly had any base runners.  It was a demoralizing season opener for Miami as they only drew one walk and had just 3 hits.  Conversely, the Rays got a big lift with the solo bomb from Meadows with two outs in the top of the 8th.  Not only that, Tampa Bay at least produced some scoring chances but they left 8 men on base throughout the game.  We feel the line move here (Marlins have been attracting attention) has led to some great value on the defending AL Champion Rays.  Miami faced all right-handed pitchers yesterday but now face a very tough southpaw in the form of Ryan Yarbrough.  The lefty used to be more of an opener but now is a guy who averages 5 and can certainly give a solid 6 innings.  He is very tough to hit and looked sharp in the spring.  While Pablo Lopez of the Marlins also deserves respect, he gave up 5 earned runs in 4 innings the last time he faced the Rays.  Also, one of the key guys out for TB right now is Ji-Man Choi but his replacement, Yoshi Tsutsugo, is 2 for 2 with a homer against Lopez in his career.  Also, Joey Wendle did not play for the Rays yesterday but don't be surprised if he is in the lineup today as he is 4 for 8 with a homer in his career against Lopez.  There is a good chance that Wendle will be among 5 left-handed bats in the lineup for the Rays tonight and Lopez struggled much more against left-handed bats last season.  As for Yarbrough, he faced the Marlins in August and shut them out over 6 and 2 / 3 innings of strong work as he struck out 5 and walked 0 while allowing only 4 hits.  This one shapes up well to be another road win as the Rays ride the momentum of yesterday's victory to another win here.  We’ll grab the road team at a great price on the money line in this one and bet TAMPA BAY.
