Dodgers vs. Rays
The Detroit Tigers seek to extend a four-game win streak with a victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Philadelphia is 33-19 in home games and 61-47 overall. The Phillies have the 10th-best team slugging percentage in MLB play at .412.
Detroit has a 28-25 record on the road and a 64-46 record overall. The Tigers have a 45-7 record in games when they scored five or more runs.
Friday's game is the first time these teams match up this season.
TOP PERFORMERS: Kyle Schwarber leads the Phillies with 37 home runs while slugging .576. Trea Turner is 13 for 44 with four doubles, a triple and three RBI over the past 10 games.
Riley Greene leads the Tigers with 50 extra base hits (23 doubles, a triple and 26 home runs). Jahmai Jones is 2 for 21 with two home runs and three RBI over the last 10 games.
LAST 10 GAMES: Phillies: 5-5, .246 batting average, 4.80 ERA, outscored opponents by one run
Tigers: 4-6, .252 batting average, 4.76 ERA, outscored by two runs
Friday's game: Jack Flaherty has allowed just four RBIs in 56 at bats versus these Phillies. Nick Castellanos is 5 for 13 with two RBIs and a home run against him.
Flaherty was terrific in Sunday afternoon’s victory over the Blue Jays, allowing just five hits and one walk over six innings of shutout baseball. Prior to that he allowed three runs in his start against the Pirates pitching just three innings. Most of the action was on Philadelphia here.
Saturday's Game
PITCHING PROBABLES: Dodgers: Blake Snell (0-0); Rays: Drew Rasmussen (8-5, 2.96 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 87 strikeouts)
The Dodgers opened as a -130 favorite here, but that number dropped to -112. That does give us some pause in terms of pulling the trigger on LA.
There is an obvious opinion by the books here that Tampa is going to win. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen. Even the recreational books we follow have the line at -112.
And it's not as if folks are backing Tampa Bay here. 72 percent or more of the early moneyline action is on the Dodgers.
Blake Snell (shoulder) will be activated to start against the Rays.
Los Angeles Dodgers career statistics vs. Drew Rasmussen are just .208 in a sizable enough sample of 34 at bats. They have four RBIs and a single home run against him.
Rasmussen allowed two runs on four hits in five innings in a win over the Yankees on Monday. He allowed just two runs in four innings his prior start.
