MLB - 919 Tampa Bay Rays @ 920 Texas Rangers
(Starting Pitchers: D. Price vs D. Holland)
The Rays haven't played since Saturday afternoon, so they had a day and a half to prepare for this game. They will start their ace Price today and he has been sensational in August with a 0.60 ERA in four starts. He is coming from shutting down the Royals on his last start, where he allowed just three baserunners. So, even against a powerful lineup like the Rangers, we can expect a red hot Price to dominate them tonight.
On the other hand, Texas will start Holland tonight and he is coming from an outing where he allowed the Orioles three runs and five hits in seven innings. He is a solid pitcher, but clearly very far from Price's level and it's clear that he struggles against Tampa Bay, as the Rays roster is hitting .313 BA and .979 OPS in 99AB's against him. Holland has also been prone to allow homeruns this season, so don't be surprised if the rested Rays have a good hitting night against Holland.
With Tampa Bay coming from a rest day and with their ace David Price on the mount, I believe they will have a clear pitching edge over Texas, while I also expect the Rays to put Holland in trouble tonight. Therefore, I'll be taking Tampa Bay in here.
