Analysis
I'm playing on Tampa/Seattle OVER the total. Neither of tonight's starters was sharp last time out. Hill allowed four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings. In that short span, he walked three while serving up a home run. Dunn was worse. In three innings, he allowed 11 baserunners (nine hits, two walks) and five runs. Dunn was making his first start since coming back from the IL; it remains to be seen if he will return to form here. Hill claimed to have "run out of gas" in his last start. Note that the veteran Hill has been vocal about the spider tack issue. He was quoted as saying: "I feel like a rule change in the middle of the season is very difficult for everybody across the league .... My argument is that, when it's a hundred degrees out and humid, we get a rosin bag. When it's 30 degrees out and freezing cold we get a rosin bag. I think it’s also been pretty widely said throughout baseball, hitters and pitchers alike, combined, a feel that the rosin bag is not enough." Unable to use spider tack, it won't be a shock to see the 41-year old struggle again.  Tampa's last game saw 15 runs scored while Seattle's last two had scores of nine and 10. I expect another relatively high-scoring affair.
