MLB Free Premium Play 05/21: Tampa Bay Rays @ Toronto Blue Jays

Tampa Bay  at Toronto

MLB - 915 Tampa Bay Rays @ 916 Toronto Blue Jays (Starting Pitchers: A. Cobb vs R. Ortiz) These two teams have been showing great offense on their last games and the first game of this series proved exactly that, with the Blue Jays winning that game by 7-5! Alex Cobb has been excellent this season, with great strikeout numbers and with a limited number of walks: 2.89 ERA, 3.58 FIP and 2.90 xFIP! This is important to face a red hot offense like the Blue Jays right now, as Toronto is #12 on the league in K% rate with 20.7%! On the other side, Ramon Ortiz may have a 2.35 ERA right now, but he is clearly worse than that, as the 4.08 FIP and 6.15 xFIP shows! He got away on his first start at Boston, even though he had 1 strikeout and 5 walks, while on his last start, he managed to allow just 1 run in 7 innings, with Toronto creating a huge lead against San Francisco at the start of the game, something that crushed the Giants' hitters. Still, Ortiz was just able to strikeout 1 batter in that game as well! Now against the Rays' lineup, he will struggle a lot! Tampa Bay is an elite team in drawing walks by being #5 on the league with 9.3%, while having a 11.6% walk rate on their last 14 days! They are hitting .283 BA against RH pitchers on their last 10 games, so I expect them to pound Ortiz today and have a nice road win tonight. Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 915 Tampa Bay Rays ML (w/ A. Cobb) @ -134 / 1.75 on Betonline
