Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Friday, May 05, 2017 7:10 PM
Play: Money Line: -137 Tampa Bay Rays
Free Pick on Rays -
I like this spot for Tampa Bay with their ace Chris Archer on the mound. Archer rebounded from a couple ugly starts in his last outing, allowing just 1 run on 4 hits over 7 1/3 innings on the road against Toronto. That was Archer's 7th straight start against the Blue Jays in which he's allowed 2 earned runs or less.
Archer is also a much better pitcher at home than he is one the road. Tampa Bay has won all 3 of his starts at home , compared to going 1-2 in his 3 starts on the road. Keep in mind during last year's disappointing season, he had a 2.65 ERA at home compared to a 5.44 ERA on the road.
Toronto is a mere 5-11 on the road and have lost both of their road games when veteran Francisco Liriano takes the mound. Liriano has a 11.13 ERA and 2.827 WHIP in those 2 road starts (only 5 2/3 innings). Liriano also owns a ugly 5.18 ERA and 1.430 WHIP in 11 career starts against the Rays. Take Tampa Bay!
