Trevor Richards allowed four runs in a July 3 loss to the Rays, but in his ensuing two starts -- both Marlins victories, including a 2-0 win against the Phillies -- he has looked great. Tampa Bay has lost five of its last six, including the last three while Miami has won four straight. Chris Archer is priced 10 cents too high, so I'm playing the Miami value.
My projections show Marlins starter Trevor Richards outpitching Chris Archer of the Rays. Despite the Rays being on a 17-5 home tear over the past 22 games, the simulations indicate strong games from Miami sluggers Starlin Castro and J.T. Realmuto. The Marlins have dug themselves out of the NL East cellar, thanks to a recent 6-2 spurt, and they'll give the Rays all they can handle on Sunday.
