Long road trips are a drag on any team, even one like mighty Tampa Bay. The Rays are 3,000 miles from home playing their seventh consecutive road contest on the West Coast. They're 3-3 on the trip, including losing as chalk of -270 and -210. San Diego shut them out yesterday, 2-0. Tampa Bay is 1-2 in the last three road starts made by Yonny Chirinos and the team is 29-42 on the road against a pitcher who allows 5.5 or fewer hits per start. San Diego plays its sixth straight home contest and is on a 10-7 run. Starter Joe Musgrove is working on an extra day of rest and has a 47-to-14 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 47 innings. The Padres bullpen is third in ERA (3.17) and No. 1 in WHIP. And MLB home teams who draw over 4 walks per game are 118-50 after scoring 2 or fewer runs. Play San Diego as a Max Play
