Money Line: -116.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* ASSASSIN is on the Tampa Bay Rays.
For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching. We think that the home side has the slight advantage in that department tonight and that it'll be more than enough to secure the victory once it's all said and done.
Tampa took Game 1 of this series 7-3 on Sunday
CC Sabathia: He was 9-12 with a 3.91 ERA in 30 starts last year. Sabathia has gotten out to some slow starts in recent years, posting a poor 4.38 ERA in his last 75 March/April starts. He's also struggled at Tropicana throughout his career going a sub-par 5-8 with a 3.98 ERA in 20 outings there.
Jake Odorizzi: He was 10-6 with a 3.69 ERA in 33 starts last year. He's just 5-5 with a 4.26 ERA lifetime against the Yanks, but he was tough at home last season by going 5-4 with a respectable 3.55 ERA in 17 outings.
The bottom line: New York struggled to put runs on the board last year, ranked 22nd overall with 4.20 per game. Tampa was even worse than the Yanks offensively last season, but we're expecting it to build off its impressive opening night performance, in which it crushed New York's No. 1 pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. Great price, play on the RAYS.
