Tampa Bay at Oakland

The Tampa Bay Rays broke the Oakland A's seven-game winning streak last night with a 6-3 win. Tampa will try to get out of Oakland with a split of their four-game series this afternoon. Tampa Bay has played well in Oakland as they are 13-8 in the last 21 meetings. Oakland's has not fared well in Paul Blackburn's last 15 starts where they are 4-11, and have allowed opponents to score an average of 5.53 runs per game. It has been even worse at home where the A's are 1-5 in his last six starts and opponents scoring 7.17 runs per contest. I like Tampa Bay in this one.
