Analysis:
1st 5 Inning Play
TAMPA BAY RAYS 1st 5 Innings
Listed Pitchers
I like Rays SP Karns quite a bit and have had success picking my spots backing him, including his last start. He's given up 2 runs or less in 6 of his L/7 starts & I trust him to limit this WSOX lineup tonight. Quintana takes the ball for the WSOX this evening. He does not walk many batters, but he has just one win at home this season, and he has pitched better when he takes the ball on the road. The Rays are more potent vs LH pitching and I do look for Karns to out pitch Quintana this evening. I am going to take the bullpen(s) out of the equation here, as the WSOX do have an edge over Tampa in the pen(s). SO, I shall fire away on the 1st 5 Innings, instead of the full game. We'll just see what happens here, as always.
