Tampa Bay Bay's offense is on the uptick, winning two of three while scoring 25 runs. They come off a 13-2 rout on Monday of Toronto as a dog. Tampa Bay 3B Evan Longoria has scored at least one run in each contest during his five-game hitting streak. Rays' righty Chris Archer has pitched well in both starts versus Toronto this season. He has great stuff, with 54 strikeouts in 43 innings, with the team 3-1 his last four starts, allowing six runs in 23+ innings, 16 hits and 25 Ks. He's been strong in his career against Toronto, with a 5-3 record the last four years and a 3.26 ERA as the Blue Jays hit .220 off him in 103 innings. Toronto is favored but has a losing record at home. The offense has disappointed, in the middle of the pack in runs, and OBP, while ranked #21 in slugging. Starter Marcus Stroman has thrown better on the road, with a 4.33 ERA at home. And the Blue Jays are 3-9 when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game. Take Tampa Bay.
