Tampa Bay at Seattle

Tampa Bay is on a nice run, but this is a tough situational spot, playing its eighth straight road game. They are 3,000 miles from home and the Rays are not a good offensive team at #22 in runs scored and #19 in on base percentage. Tampa Bay is 3-6 in the last nine starts made by Jake Odorizzi, who is much better at home (his ERA is almost 2 runs higher away from home). For his career he is 8-10 on the road with a 5.34 ERA and the Rays are 4-9 when Odorizzis is as an underdog. Seattle is home for the ninth straight game and has a fine arm going in lefty J.A. Happ (3-1, 3.70), who has a 2.30 ERA at home. The Rays are 1-6 in the last seven meetings, so jump on the home team and take Seattle.
