Tampa Bay at Toronto

Unorthodox Tampa Bay has been impressive under manager Kevin Cash, on a 14-3 run, and still in postseason contention. The Rays are 40-12 on Astroturf, plus 23-6 against a right-handed starter. Righty Ryne Stanek (2.49 ERA) opens the game with outstanding stuff and Tampa Bay is on a 36-17 run overall, including 16-5 against losing teams. Meanwhile, Toronto is #17 in runs scored, #22 in on-base percentage, just 7-21 against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.

Tampa Bay has won nine of the first 12 meetings in the season series and holds all the cards. Play Tampa Bay.
