Result: Win
The set-up: I think the Braves' ace could/should easily be a much bigger in this particular matchup. The Rays turn to Charlie Morton (0-1, 13.50 ERA), who after going 16-6 with a 3.05 ERA last season, struggled mightily in his first start of 2020, allowing six runs off seven hits over four innings to the Jays.
The pick: Mike Soroka (0-0, 0.00) was 13-4 with a 2.68 ERA last year and he dominated in his first start of the year vs. the Mets on Friday, going six scoreless, allowing four hits, no walks and striking out three (note that Soroka was also a sharp 9-2 with a 2.50 ERA in all "night" games last season). I believe Morton's regression is going to be significant over the short-term and I have no reason not to expect Soroka to be able to carry his momentum and confidence over into his first home contest. I'm laying the price.
