Tampa Bay comes off an 11-4 win over the Twins on Monday as Corey Dickerson hit a homer and two doubles and Minnesota lost its second straight game. Jake Odorizzi takes the mound tonight and the Rays have won his last two starts and he has faced the Twins once this year, allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings. The Rays have won seven of the last 10 meetings and 35 of their last 52 against the Twins. Also, Tampa Bay's bats have come alive as they have averaged 5.6 runs their last seven games. In addition, Tampa Bay has won four of its last five home games. Bartolo Colon has pitched better since coming over to the Twins, but he still is 6-10 with a 6.25 ERA on the season and he gave up 10 hits in six innings his last outing against the White Sox. Colon has allowed 15 runs on 34 hits in 22 2/3 innings on artificial turf the last four years. Back the Rays.
