Seattle at Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay finally won a game on Saturday, but the Rays still have lost eight of their last nine games and have to face James Paxton, who is one of the hottest pitchers in baseball with a 5-1 record and 2.95 ERA. Opposing hitters are batting .201 against Paxton and he comes off a win over the Astros when he allowed just a run on nine hits in 7 2/3 innings. Paxton already has a no-hitter to his credit this season and Seattle has won five of his last six road starts. The Mariners are 21-7 their last 28 games versus right-handed starters, and Nathan Eovaldi had a rough outing his last time out giving up four runs in five innings in a 4-2 loss at Washington on Tuesday. The Rays have lost four of their last five against left-handed starters, and they are only 12-15 at home. Seattle has won 21 of the last 28 meetings. Play the Mariners.
