Total: 8.00 | -117.00 Under
Result: Win
Play: Over
Rating: 8*
The Toronto Blue Jays will visit the Tampa Bay Rays Friday, and this total looks a little low considering the pitching matchup.
Alex Cobb takes the ball for Tampa Bay. He'll make his first start since Sept. 28, 2014 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He's 2-2 with a 4.63 ERA in four lifetime games against the Blue Jays, and the Rays manager Kevin Cash said he aims to "let (Cobb) get his innings in, as many as possible here in September" so they might leave him on the bump just long enough for the Jays to do some serious damage.
The Jays hand the ball to Marcus Stroman (9-5, 4.58 ERA) who was reached for five runs on nine hits in six innings against the Twins his last time out. He's 3-2 with a 4.96 ERA in five career starts against Tampa Bay.
Over is 5-0 in Stroman's last five starts vs. American League East, over is 20-7 in Rays last 27 overall, Over is 5-1 in the last six head-to-head meetings.
