Re: 7-10-10
Scott Rickenbach’s MLB 10* (TOP PLAY) OVER in Tampa Bay vs. Cleveland @ 7:10 ET: Garza vs Laffey - Matt Garza made a bullpen appearance for the Rays on Wednesday. This shouldn’t effect him too much since he’s an experienced pitcher but still, it is noteworthy as any change to a pitchers routine can throw them off a bit. Of course Garza is use to being a starter and not pitching in game action between starts. Also, his last start did not go well as he allowed four runs in three innings against the Red Sox. Now Garza has to contend with an Indians team against whom he’s 1-4 with an ugly 5.59 ERA in his career. Though the Indians are dealing with some injury issues right now, guys like Jayson Nix have helped pick up the slack as he continues to pound out the long balls. Nix has homered in six of his last seven games. With their 9 run outburst yesterday, the Indians have scored at least five runs in 6 of their last 13 games. Cleveland has also allowed an average of six runs in their last four games. Their offense should help them out today. Not only have they enjoyed success against Garza, the Rays pitching staff has allowed double digits in hits in five of their last seven games. Their bullpen has had some slip ups recently and Garza has averaged only about 5 innings per start in his last 8 starts. Also, he’s averaged only about 5 innings per start in his 7 career starts against the Indians. Cleveland’s problem today shouldn’t be hitting but pitching is another matter entirely. Aaron Laffey has a 5.18 ERA this season and has been hit at a .285 clip this season and a .288 clip in his MLB career! The southpaw has particularly struggled on the road this season where he’s compiled a 6.75 ERA. Before losing 9-3 yesterday, the Rays had scored at least five runs in 9 of their last 12 games. Tampa Bay has gone over the total in 8 of their last 11 games. The Indians are 4-1 to the over this season as a big dog of +200 or more. The Rays, with Matt Garza on the mound, have only recorded 3 unders in their last 14 games that he has started. As for the Indians with Laffey on the mound, both of his road starts flew over the total. In his career, Laffey has a rock solid 2.93 ERA at home but an ugly 5.96 ERA on the road! Look for him to get rocked here and the Rays big run of overs (8-3 to the over their last 11 games) continues. Play OVER the total in Tampa Bay as a *10* Top Play selection
