DraftKings. Chris Paddack has been pitching better of late, but he’s still under this outs line in eight of his ten starts. He remains inefficient with his workload, needing 4.01 pitches per plate appearance (30th highest out of 133 qualifiers). The Rays have six hitters in their lineup who see above average pitches per plate appearance, and Tampa as a team is hot at the plate, with an .810 OPS versus righties over the last week. Great hitting conditions on a hot, muggy night at Steinbrenner Field as well.
One of the streak attractions today lies with the Tampa Bay Rays in a two-fold scenario. The Rays have shot up to second place in the AL East thanks to a five game winning streak, and won yesterday in dominating fashion over the Blue Jays 13-0. Their winning streak matches that the Rays have won each of the last five starts with Zack Littel as starting pitcher. Look for those streaks to come to an end against a Twins team that got to Littel for four runs in the first two innings last September. Take Minnesota
Look out for Tampa Bay! As the Twins have cooled off slightly, splitting their last six, it's now the Rays on the move with five wins in a row after sweeping out the Blue Jays this weekend in Tampa. Pitching has been outstanding for Tampa Bay in this recent surge, allowing just 8 runs across the win streak, and the bats came alive on Sunday in the 13-0 romp. The serviceable Zack Littell has a respectable 3.20 ERA this month, and lasts deeper into games than others in the Rays rotation, while Minnesota's Chris Paddack had had a bit more trouble in his road starts, posting a 4.97 ERA across five efforts.

Junior Caminero is another hot bat we're backing today. He rewarded us with a home run on Saturday, and we're riding the momentum. Caminero has been significantly better at home, hitting .301 compared to just .129 on the road. He also performs better against right-handed pitching, with a .266 average versus .193 against lefties. He'll face Chris Paddack, who has a career HR/9 rate of 1.4 but has only allowed one homer in his last four starts. Our model anticipates some regression from Paddack, making Caminero a strong value at +450, especially since we set the line at +365.
