Gavin Williams is hard to trust given his small sample size, and he hasn't been great in his limited role. The Tampa Bay Rays are quietly turning around their season and have a chance to get a game above a .500 record with a victory here. Zack Littell has been hit or miss, but he's been at his best at home. Near pick em prices, I have to side with the Rays, as they appear to be a team heading in a positive direction as we enter the all star break.
