Getting the ball for the TB Rays tonight is Ryne Stanek (2-3, 2.53 ERA). He is one of several relief pitchers that Tampa Bay has used this season, a reliever who begins the game and typically pitches one-to-two innings. Stanek makes his 22nd start of the season and while throwing just 31 2/3 innings in his first 21 starts, he is holding opponents to a .168 batting average, while posting a 2.84 ERA in those assignments. TB has been playing great ball lately winning 8 in a row and I'll take them as underdogs here tonight. The BRaves bats have cooled off hitting only .199 in the past week.
