Milwaukee at Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Rays were left for dead in June when they fell to 18 games below .500, and appeared to be done. This team never quit, and has battled all the way back to contention on the strength of 9 wins in their last 10 games. The Rays are just 4.5 games behind the race for the second Wild Card spot, and the strength of this team has been outstanding pitching. The Tampa Bay staff has allowed more than 3 runs in just 1 of the last 10 games. Milwaukee opened the season a sizzling 20-7, but have actually been a below .500 team since, so they have not played as good as the record looks over their last 79 games. The Brewers have had fits when competing on the road in interleague play where they own a 15-38 record in their last 53 interleague tilts vs. a right-hander. Tampa Bay is 20-6 in their last 26 overall - even better than the sizzling Brewers' start. Take Tampa Bay.
