Cleveland at Tampa Bay

The Cleveland Indians have pounced on the Tampa Bay Rays in this series, taking the first two games to push the Rays' losing streak to three games - something they have avoided since late May. The Rays have the pitching to avoid the long losing streaks, and I look for them to bounce back today at home behind Alex Colome. Colome's last start vs. the Tribe resulted in one hit through seven innings with no runs allowed. He has now worked 13.1 innings against them without yielding a single run, and has held the Tribe's lineup to a .116 average against him. Carlos Carrasco has been durable, but owns a 1-3 record vs. Tampa Bay in five career appearances against them, and Cleveland is just 1-9 in their last 10 following a win, and 5-13 behind Carrasco if he is off a quality start in his previous game. The Rays have taken it to road teams that have a winning road record at 9-3 in their last 12 against them. Take Tampa Bay.
