ASA top play on 10* OVER 8.5 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Toronto Blue Jays, 1:37 PM ET - This will be the 5th game of the series with each team winning two of the four games. Tampa Bay took the double-header sweep yesterday with a 6-2 win and 11-5 victory. Both teams have used their bullpens extensively which means they’ll need strong outings from the starters, and we don’t see that happening in this one. Both teams have hot bats right now as they combined for 25 hits in Game 2 yesterday and 18 in Game 1. The night before they belted out 20 hits in their 11-run game. The opening game of the series had just 5 runs scored but they had 14 total hits and should have produced at least 7 runs in that game. Shane Baz will get the start for Tampa Bay and in 4 starts he is 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA with three of those four contests finishing with 8 or more runs. In his two road starts he has a 5.40 ERA. Baz may be in trouble against this Jays lineup that is hitting .282 against right-handed starters their last ten games and scoring an average of 6.40 runs/9 innings. The Blue Jays will counter with Ross Stripling who is 4-2 on the season with a 3.12 ERA. In the last three games Stripling has started the Rays and their opponents have scored 11, 14 and 15 total runs. Without strong bullpens we should see plenty of runs in this one.
