MLB Premium Play 04/28: Tampa Bay Rays @ Chicago White Sox


MLB - 971 Tampa Bay Rays @ 972 Chicago White Sox

(Starting Pitchers: D. Price vs D. Axelrod)

The Rays had a big offensive game yesterday, so I expect them to be confident for today, while the White Sox's bullpen is tired after a big workload last night. David Price had a terrible first outing of the season, but then he was much better on the following three starts against good competition like Boston, Baltimore and the NY Yankees, even though he is yet to win a decision this season, with 3.50, 3.16 and 1.75 FIP! His BABIP numbers are insanely high and this is why he has allowed so many runs on this early season. 

On the other hand, even though Dylan Axelrod has been at an acceptable level, he has been having a really low BABIP with .273! His pitch count are generally high due to his inability to strikeout batters and he is yet to pass the 6th inning this season, something that will force his team's tired bullpen to get into action early. With the Rays having a SP edge in here and with Tampa Bay also coming from a much needed breakout game yesterday, I expect them to pick up a good win today.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 971 Tampa Bay Rays ML (w/ D. Price) @ -137 / 1.73 on 5Dimes
