This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Astros came through for us yesterday, but we are going the other way Saturday. After another defeat filled with pitching woes, questionable managerial decisions and defensive mistakes that would have seemed improbable just three days ago for the best record in the American League during the regular season, the Rays are also one loss away from matching the worst playoff collapse in 116 years of postseason baseball. Charlie Morton gets the ball for Tampa Bay and he is the pitcher you want in this spot. He pitched two seasons and won a World Series ring with the Astros before joining Tampa Bay last year. He has allowed just one run over 10 innings in his two postseason starts. Lance McCullers counters for Houston and he is coming off a decent outing, but the long ball has been an issue as he has allowed five home runs in his two postseason starts. The Astros are 2-11 in their last 13 games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game while the Rays are 21-5 in their last 26 games when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game. 10* (908) Tampa Bay Rays
