The Rays came through as a dog early in game 1 of a doubleheader yesterday. They then lost the second game 7-2 but I like the price we get on the Rays here with Drew Rasmussen on the mound.

The Rays are 18-6 in Rasmussen's 24 starts on the season and 9-4 in his 13 road starts. Rasmussen has been pitching light out lately and he's 3-0 with an ERA of 1.04 and a 0.98 WHIP over his last three starts. Rasmussen has a 1.65 ERA in three starts against Toronto this year.

As for the Blue Jays, they are only 5-5 in Ross Striplings's 10 starts this year and Stripling has an ERA of 4.00 over his last three starts. Since the start of last season, Stripling has a record of 0-3 with nine runs allowed on 13 hits over 14 innings in three starts against the Rays.

10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS.
