The Tampa Bay Rays will play the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of their series at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday night.
The Tampa Bay Rays are 4-3 this season and have lost three of their last four games. Tampa Bay is coming off of a series loss to Oakland, where they lost three of four. The Tampa Bay pitching staff has an ERA of 4.09, a 1.31 WHIP, and a .227 opponent batting average. The Rays offense has scored 28 runs with a .273 batting average and a .338 on base percentage. Brandon Lowe, who has 3 home runs, and Ji-Man Choi, who has 6 RBI, have led the Tampa Bay offense this season. The projected starter for Tampa Bay is Drew Rasmussen, who is 0-0 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP over 4 innings this season.
The Chicago White Sox are 4-2 this season and have won four of their last five games. Chicago is coming off of a series win against Seattle, where they won two of three. The White Sox pitching staff has a 2.62 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a .199 opponent batting average this season. The Chicago offense has scored 28 runs with a .269 batting average and a .319 on base percentage. Andrew Vaughn, who has a .353 batting average, and Eloy Jimenez, who has 7 RBI, have led the White Sox offensive attack. The projected starter for Chicago is Dylan Cease, who is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP across 5 innings.
The under is 4-0 in Tampa Bay’s last 4 games against a starter with a WHIP under 1.15 and the under is 6-1-2 in Tampa Bay’s last 9 road games against a right-handed starting pitcher. Chicago is 4-0 in their last 4 games and the over is 3-0-1 in Cease’s last 4 home starts against a team with a winning record. The over is 4-0 in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings.
Both of these teams have looked good to start the season, but Chicago has the home field advantage and the better pitcher on the mound. Both teams have been involved in some higher scoring games this season, but I like the White Sox pitching staff to shut down the Rays. Give me the White Sox here.
