Starter Ryan Pepiot (3.64 ERA) is holding batters to a .213 average with 131 Ks in 121 innings. He has a 1.50 ERA versus light-hitting Detroit this season. The Rays have won six of his last nine starts. He faces a Detroit offense that is 18th in runs, 28th in on-base percentage, 22nd in slugging, and 26th in steals. They've lost two of the last three starts made by Tarik Skubal, including losses as a -155 favorite against Oakland and as -300 chalk to Colorado. Play Tampa Bay.
