Tampa Bay at Houston

The Tampa Bay Rays have really been struggling lately. Tampa Bay is just 5-15 in their last 20 games despite being 18 games over the .500 mark, and they have been overtaken by the Baltimore Orioles for the lead in the AL East. Tampa will go with their ace Shane McClanahan, but they are just 1-3 in his last four starts, and opponents have scored 19 runs in the four games. It will be tough to get things turned around vs a Houston team that has found its way at 16-8 in their last 24 games. Houston has won 12 of the last 16 meetings between these teams at home, and getting the Astros on the plus side of the line in this one at home is certainly loaded with value. Make the play on Houston.
