Tampa Bay at Baltimore

The Tampa Bay Rays look to get the sweep from Baltimore this afternoon after exploding for an easy 10-1 win in Game 2. The Rays’ pitching has been outstanding, limiting eight of their last nine opponents to 3 runs or less. Baltimore’s offense has lacked punch for most of the season, and right now it has gone listless, having totaled 3 runs over their last three games. Matt Weiters is mired in an awful slump at just 1 for 27 in his last seven games with 13 strike outs. The O's poor offense has been foreshadowing of things to come as they are now 6-18 in their last 24 after plating 2 runs or less in their most recent game. The O's have also been in trouble behind Tillman when he starts on regular four days rest where they are 3-14 in his last 17. Shields has been a great closer, leading the Rays to a 16-5 mark in series Game 3.The sweep is on, so play on Tampa Bay.
