Do Rays Come Out of Their 5-Game Funk? Jays Just .143 Hitting Against Yarbrough
Coming into their series against the Blue Jays, Tampa was 13-5 in the last eighteen games versus Toronto. But the Rays had lost five straight games coming into Sunday, two of those against Toronto. Could this be the day Tampa bounces back? They are a +150 dog in Toronto.
Ryan Yarbrough (4-3, 4.80 ERA) - Yarbrough is in search for that next elusive win he hasn't tasted since June 16 and there have been some clunkers in between. The Rays pay $150 on a $100 bet, so the value is here. Robbie Ray (6-3, 3.43 ERA) has been on fire recently as he is coming off two wins. Ray struck out 10 for the third time in five starts and the fourth time this season. It's a little tough of a pill to swallow that that Rays go six straight without a win.
Check this out: The Blue Jays are just .143 hitting against Yarbrough (29 hits out of 159 at bats). Eight of those were homeruns but out of 159. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Teoscar Hernandez and Cavan Biggio have had some success against him.
We should note that Bobby Ray has had only allowed 16 Rays hits of 82 at bats.
If Ray weren't coming off two wins, we'd probably be looking at an UNDER here. You can get the total as high as 10.
Gambling911.com will be on Tampa +150.
