Logan Gilbert has recorded seven home wins thus far but owns a 4.12 ERA and has allowed three runs, or more, in four straight outings. Seattle has struggled offensively at home against right-handers, hitting .230 on the season. All-Star Drew Rasmussen has been having a great season with a 3.07 road ERA. He has a favorable matchup as the Rays are the much better team against right-handers in average, OBP., and slugging.
Drew Rasmussen is pitching his absolute best on the season, winning his last three games and allowing only two combined runs between them. His last two were his best as the Rays won 1-0 against the White Sox and 1-0 against Cleveland. But those two shutouts were at home, where Tampa Bay has the best record in baseball (41-18). On the road, it's a different story as they sit 27-28. Seattle is the same way with a 33-26 record at home and 23-34 on the road. The Rays have won five of the last six meetings. Final note: the Mariners are tied for last in hitting at .230 on the season. I like the Rays to win.
