The Tampa Bay Rays snapped a four-game skid with a 6-4 win against the Blue Jays last night. They've really struggled at the plate lately though, and runs surely won't come easy here against Marcus Stroman.
Stroman (10-6, 3.00 ERA) is 3-2 with a 1.94 ERA over his past nine starts overall, and 1-0 with a 1.98 ERA in two starts against the Rays this season. The Blue Jays are 7-2 in Stromans last nine home starts and the under is 4-1-1 in Stroman's last six home starts.
Tampa Bay turns to Jacob Faria (5-3, 3.19 ERA). The 24 year old rookie was tagged with five runs on six hits in six innings against Cleveland his last time out, but under is 6-2 in Faria's last eight starts overall. I don't think Tampa Bay will be able to provide Faria with enough run support here.
Under is 7-0-2 in umpire Lance Barksdale's last nine games behind home plate vs. Toronto and 21-5-2 in his last 28 games behind home plate vs. Tampa Bay. We can also note that the home team is 13-3 in Barksdale's last 16 games.
My selection is an 8* play on Toronto Blue Jays ML.
