(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Toronto,
Money Line: 118.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
The Rays are expected to get back Shane McClanahan for this game. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball with an 11-5 record, 2.20 ERA and 0.86 WHIP. He has 182 strikeouts in 147 1/3 innings. McClanahan probably isn't going to go deep into this game, but I also like the depth in Tampa Bay's bullpen. The Rays have the eighth-lowest bullpen ERA.

So I'm attracted to getting a plus price.

Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman is 12-9 with a 3.31. He's been tailing off, though, with a 4.50 ERA in his last three starts. During this 18-inning span, Gausman has surrendered five homers.

Gausman has a 4.48 home ERA this season.
