Tampa Bay at Texas

Tampa Bay was left for dead back in the early part of June, but a 34-18 run has put them back in contention as this team continues to get excellent pitching. They dealt ace David Price to the Tigers, and what happened? They get Drew Smyly to come out and blank Texas 7-0 last night. Texas has fallen apart and the lineup which was once imposing to opposing pitchers is now about pitching around Beltran, as there simply is no other hitters to fear. Texas has scored 3 runs or fewer in 9 of their last 11 games. Tampa Bay has gotten lights-out pitching as they have limited opponents to 3 runs or less in 19 of their last 23 games. The Rays are 34-15-3 to the UNDER in Hellickson's last 52 starts when following a quality start in his last outing. Texas owns a 13-3-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 17 vs. a right-handed pitcher, and none of the last five here at home have eclipsed the total. Play the UNDER.
