Tampa Bay.
LVSM.
Game 965.
4:10 pm pst.
Tampa Bay is red-hot, winning 10 of their last 13 to move within one game of Boston for the divisions top spot. The Rays have been absolutely crushing the ball, accounting for five or more runs in six of their last nine contests. Cleveland has struggled offensively posting four or less runs in six of their last seven outings. Fleming (7-5, 3.93) and Plesac (5-3, 4.19) are scheduled starters here. LH, Fleming had a poor performance his last start. But in the few occasions this season when he did fall short, he bounced back to win each time. RH, Plesac has gotten lucky, getting good run support despite allowing a ton of hits lately. The Rays are 6-1 L7 in Cleveland, 14-2 L16 overall vs. Cleveland, 7-1 L8 vs. teams with a winning record, 4-0 L4 vs. the AL Central, and 5-1 L6 vs. RH starters. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you.
