Are the Rays a thorn in the side of mighty Toronto? It sure seems that way. The Rays just took three of four at Boston and own eight victories in 13 games against Toronto in 2015 after winning the season series six of the previous seven years. Tampa Bay is having a good week, on a 4-1 run on the road. Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria is 11-for-25 during a six-game hitting streak and is batting .349 against the Blue Jays this season. The Rays are a dog with a strong arm going tonight in Jake Odorizzi (3.38 ERA), with the team 3-0 his last three starts. Toronto is staggering towards a division title, losing three of the last five, including as chalk of -170, -200 and -110. The Blue Jays go with 40-year-old R.A. Dickey (10-11, 4.05 ERA), who is winless in his last three starts. He is 0-3 with a 4.94 ERA in four starts against the Rays this season and the Blue Jays are 0-4 when he faces the Rays. Toronto is also 4-12 when Dickey faces the American League East, so grab the live dog and go with Tampa Bay.
