Tampa Bay is rolling at 10-3 cashing in at +6.8 units and the Rays have gone 5-1 on the road, where they're hitting .302. Their winning formula is simple: pitch well, don't make errors and get a few key hits. They've won four straight coming into Friday and allow an average of just 2 runs per game. The Blue Jays have lost eight of their last 10 and are hitting .198 as a club. Rays get the win.
The Rays have been one of the best teams in baseball through the first two-plus weeks of the season. They've done it behind their unconventional pitching. Tampa Bay's staff leads the majors with a 1.98 ERA. Meanwhile, Toronto has struggled at the plate so far this season. My model says that the Rays win this game outright in 66 percent of simulations, meaning there's value in playing Tampa Bay at this number.
