Tampa Bay at Arizona

Tampa Bay has never lost to Arizona and we like that streak to continue. J.P. Howell goes for the D-Rays. He has been good in two of his three starts. He allowed just one run in eight innings in his opener vs. Kansas City and is coming off another good effort in his last start vs. San Diego - a game in which he allowed just one earned run in seven innnings. Overall he sports a 3.60 ERA. He's facing Doug Davis who has been steadily getting worse (5.40 ERA his last three starts). With him on the mound facing a losing team, the D-Backs are just 6-15 the past two seasons. Tampa Bay, historically bad on the road, has been OK this season going 14-18. THey are getting 5.2 runs per game away from home. Arizona is averaging just 4.1 per game at home (3.9 the last seven games and 3.8 in interleague play). With Arizona posting a 5-18 mark at home in June games the past two seasons, we'll take the underdog D-Rays here.
