Erasmo Ramirez's return to the rotation was a success, as he gave up just two runs in 5.1 innings while throwing 65 pitches against the Yankees. He faces a much easier test tonight and will be more stretched out. The Angels have won three straight but starter Ricky Nolasco has been ravaged by home runs this season. Tampa has homefield advantage and the better starter, so I'll take them at this relatively low price.
The Rays have lost consecutive games to the Angels, and will look to avoid being swept Wednesday. Expect their bats to turn it around as they face Ricky Nolasco of the Angels. Tampa Bay went scoreless Tuesday, blowing a bases-loaded situation in the seventh while trailing by just two. Erasmo Ramirez is capable of producing five to six solid innings. Back Tampa Bay to bounce back.
The Angels have won seven of their past nine games entering Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay. But I like Erasmo Ramirez to pitch well tonight; he owns a 2.41 career ERA against the Halos. In my simulations, the Rays are winning 66 percent of the time. Back Tampa Bay.
