After a no-contest 10-1 loss behind their ace, the Tampa Bay Rays came right back with a 3-0 shutout win to even the series at one game apiece. The Rays have been a hot team at 18-8 over their last 26, and 8-2 over their last 10. With the win last night, they now have a better record than Detroit, so the line certainly looks inflated here. Roberto Hernandez may be finding the groove and should be feeling good, coming off a stint of 8.2 innings allowing just 1 unearned run. Max Scherzer has been a perfect 7-0 on the season, but enters with a career losing record against Tampa Bay. The Rays have won 10 of their last 13 on the road vs. a right-handed starter, while the Tigers are just 1-5 in their last six vs. a right hander. Play on Tampa Bay.
