Top Rated MLB *BIG HITTER*
Play: Toronto Blue Jays
Rating: 10*
The Toronto Blue Jays wrapped up a seven-game road swing with a pair of disappointing losses at Kansas City. I like them to bounce back with a win as they return home to Toronto for the opener of a three-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays.
R.A. Dickey (8-12, 4.49) will take the ball for the Jays. The 41 year old is coming off a solid outing at Houston where he held the Astros to one run on six hits through seven innings of a 2-1 victory. He really needed that after a couple of disappointing outings, and now he'll come up against a Rays team that is batting just .239 for the season, the worst mark in the American League. The Rays are 3-12 in their last 15 road games vs. a right-handed starter.
The Rays turn to Jake Odorizzi (6-5, 3.70 ERA) who has not allowed a run through his last 20 2/3 innings of work. The law of averages would suggest that he's about to get shelled, and with the Jays returning home to swing the sticks in front of the home town crowd Odorizzi could be in some serious trouble tonight.
Blue Jays are 8-1 in their last nine home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, Rays are 1-8 in Odorizzi's last nine road starts vs. a team with a winning record.
