Play: Tampa Bay Rays
Rating: 10/10*

The Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays are tied at 1-1 as they head into Game 3 of a four-game series. I like the Rays to come out ahead in Saturday's matchup.

Alex Cobb (6-6, 4.01 ERA) takes the ball for Tampa Bay. He's 4-3 with a 3.84 ERA in 12 lifetime starts against Boston, but what I really like is how Cobb has pitched lately. He had allowed just a total of five runs (four earned) in 21 2/3 innings of work through three starts before conceding seven (six earned) at Baltimore his last time out as two homers became his undoing.

Boston hands the ball to Rick Porcello (4-10, 5.01 ERA) who limited the Rangers to three runs on three hits in 6 1/3 frames his last time out, but he had been knocked around plenty in each of his last five starts prior to that. I'm not convinced he's back to the form that earned him the AL Cy Young title last season just after just one good start.

Let's roll with the Rays.
