Tampa Bay at Boston

Tampa Bay continues to torment the Red Sox as it scored four runs in the ninth inning and beat Boston for the sixth consecutive time. The fading Sox are now five games behind the Rays in the AL East after leading the division most of the season, and they have lost 10 of their last 12 games. Josh Fleming goes tonight and should go about five innings, and Tampa Bay has won five of his last six starts. Conversely, Boston has lost Nathan Eovaldi's last five starts, including 12-4 against Toronto on Friday when he got knocked around for seven runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings. Tampa Bay hitters are batting .277 with a .925 OPS versus Eovaldi. The Rays have won 22 of their past 30 games and they are 62-26 versus AL East teams dating to last season. Boston is 1-8 its last nine against AL East teams. Take the Rays.
