There have been a lot of hot teams in baseball to open the second half, and Tampa Bay is certainly amongst them. The Rays have gone 28-8 in their last 36 games, but there are signs that this team is starting to come back to normal, as they are 4-3 in their last seven, and 2-2 in their last four. Wade Miley has pitched very well for Arizona after a tough start. His last 11 starts show an ERA of a slender 2.44, and the Diamondbacks have not lost with him on the mound since May 25th. The Rays have some poor numbers behind Hellickson in an anticipated low-scoring game, where they are 1-6 in his last seven starts to a total of 7 to 8.5. The D-backs have cashed in to the tune of 13-3 at home vs. a team with a winning road record in their last 16. Back the home team.
