A big mismatch in Tampa against the rebuilding Indians. Justin Masterson has a great ERA after one start, but this is a submariner pitcher with marginal stuff and he's always had a problem walking batters. In one start this season he's walked four in six innings. He also struggles against lefties and for his career against Tampa Bay he's 1-7 with a 7.74 ERA walking 38 in 52 innings! The Indians are 17-42 in their last 59 road games and 18-37 against a left-handed starter. And this isn't just any southpaw, but hard throwing ace David Price. The Rays are 36-16 in Price's last 52 starts with four days of rest. Tampa Bay is on a 15-4 run and 7-0 against a team with a losing record. The Indians are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Tampa Bay and the Rays are 5-0 in Price's last five starts against Cleveland with a 1.64 ERA. Play Tampa Bay.
