The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off a 2-1 win over the New York Mets last night in the series opener. Blake Snell takes the mound for the Rays in tonight's game against the Mets. On the season, he is 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA and 54 strikeouts this season.

The New York Mets will look to bounce back after wasting another outstanding performance from Jacob deGrom. deGrom went seven innings allowing just two runs on four hits and struck out 14. Once again the Mts offense did not show up in a deGrom start. The Mets will hope their bats can do more for Seth Lugo, who will make today's start. He is 2-3 with a 4.34 ERA and 39 strikeouts this season.

Tampa Bay is 12-3 in their last 15 games as a road favorite and 30-11 in their last 41 games overall. New York is 2-5 in their last 7 home games and 0-4 in their last 4 games against a left-handed starter. Tampa Bay is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams.

The Mets let another one get away with deGrom on the mound. Things won't get any easier for them with having to find offensive support for Lugo. Snell has pitched decently this season and will be able to handle a Mets offense that has become a little anemic as of late.

Play on the Tampa Bay Rays.
