Atlanta at Tampa Bay

A pair of powerhouse teams meet in interleague play, but Atlanta has a key weakness: The Braves are 7-16 in their last 23 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter. They don't face any old southpaw in this one, but hard throwing David Price (6-2, 3.10 ERA), an ace with a 45-10 strikeout to walk ratio and fewer hits than innings pitcher. The Rays are 13-5 in their last 18 interleague games and 38-15 in their last 53 home games. Tim Hudson goes for Atlanta, but the Rays are 21-6 in their last 27 home games vs. a right-handed starter.  The Braves are 3-8 in Hudson's last 11 starts against the rugged American League East, 3-9 in his last 12 road starts vs. a team with a winning record and 4-16 in Hudson's last 20 interleague starts. Tampa Bay has been a dominant home team (15-5) this season and the Rays are 40-17 in their last 57 games as a favorite as well as 36-16 in their last 52 games as a home favorite. Play Tampa Bay.
