The Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays face off on Wednesday in an MLB showdown at the Rogers Centre. On Tuesday, it was the Toronto Blue Jays that were able to secure the 7-2 victory. 

The Blue Jays sit with an 80-62 record and after some struggles a few weeks ago they are right back on track. On Tuesday the offense was again strong, scoring seven runs and that led to the victory. The Blue Jays are averaging 4.68 runs per game, which is 6th best in the league. The pitching is also only giving up 4.18 runs per game. Bo Bichette has hit 24 home runs and driven in 87 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Rays who sit with a 79-52 record overall, but they have lost two of the first three games of this series. In the two losses, the Rays only scored four runs total. The Rays pitching is giving up only 3.78 runs per game, which is sixth in the league. Randy Arozarena is having a big season, hitting 19 home runs and driving in 78 RBIs.

The Rays are 7-1 in Striplings last eight starts. The Rays are 5-0 in Rasmussen's last five road starts. The under is 6-1 in Rasmussen's last seven starts. 

On the mound for the Blue Jays is Ross Stripling, who sits with a 7-4 record and an ERA of 3.03. In his last start against the Texas Rangers, he went six innings, giving up three hits and two runs. 

On the mound for the Rays is Drew Rasmussen, and he sits with a 10-4 record and an ERA of 2.57. In his last start against the New York Yankees, he went six innings, giving up six hits and zero runs. 

Both offenses are going to really struggle to score in this game. Rasmussen gave up zero runs in his last start, and Stripling gave up only two. The Rays offense has struggled coming into this game, and it’s not going to change here. This game is going to stay well under the total. I think this game stays under four.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
