Chicago at Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Rays were socked around by the Red Sox, but still own the best record in baseball at 32-15. What they also own is the best record at home over their last 170 games played. The pitching has been outstanding at home allowing just 3.8 runs per game for the season. The offense is potent and vs. a White Sox staff allowing 5 per game on the road, the margin and cushion are there for an easy Tampa Bay win. Niemann has been a cash cow against teams that are outscored by at least a half run per game, and have a team batting average of under .255. He is 15-2 in his last 17 in that situation, good enough to go with Tampa Bay here.
