All things considered, this is a pretty cheap price on the home team,
no? They'll host a Tampa Bay team that is among the lowest scoring in
all of baseball and loses the DH spot from the order to boot. Not only
have the Rays lost 41 of their past 59 games overall, they're just 3-7
in series openers. They are only 3-14 the L17 road games.
Dodgers starter Bud Norris is coming off B2B rocky outings on the road,
but I wouldn't be too concerned about him here tonight at home. That's
because he sports an excellent WHIP (0.951) in seven starts at Dodger
Stadium this year. Again, he'll be facing a pretty meager offense as
well, one that ranks only 25th in runs scored. His team has won 21 of
its past 27 home games and is 11-5 its L16 vs. the AL here in LA.
Like every other Rays pitcher this year, Chris Archer has regressed and
the results have been mostly ugly, particularly out here on the road.
His ERA/WHIP are 6.37/1.635 outside of Tropicana Field. He is off a
quality start, but those have been rare for the right-hander this season
(just 9 in 21 total tries). I haven't even mentioned yet how TB just
lost three in a row at Oakland, scoring just five runs in the process.
The team is also 0-6 w/ Archer on the mound if he threw a quality start
his last time out. The Dodgers generally have taken care of the weaker
competition on the schedule, winning seven straight against teams w/ a
win percentage below .400.

Atlanta at Minnesota
Play: Under 9
You can't help but be interested in a total of 9 involving the Atlanta
Braves offense. The Braves enter tonight's game at Minnesota with the
league's worst SLG pct. (.350) and OPS (.652). This is a squad that is
averaging only 2.8 runs per game on the highway this season. Of the 10
games they've played this season with a total of 9 or higher, only two
went over the total. They face a competent starter in Ervin Santana who
since a midseason swoon has been very effective. Over his last six
starts, Santana flashes a 2.03 ERA -- all of which against AL
competition. Santana has also been far stronger at home with above
average splits of .235/.283/.377. Atlanta will go with Lucas Harrell who
is nothing more than a stop-gap as the Braves continue to eye next year
and beyond. He's actually pitched fairly well with a 4.24 ERA in four
starts. Anything close to a quality start from Harrell gives us a good
shot to go under this inflated number.
