Just like many of his teammates, Zach Eflin is off to a slow start after going 16-8 with a 3.50 ERA last season.
I expect a strong effort from Eflin and the Rays after a bench-clearing brawl during Tuesday night's games. Something like that can ignite a sleepy team.
Milwaukee starter Colin Rea is 2-0 with a 3.25 ERA. I expect regression from him. Rea's ERA the past three years were 4.55, 7.50 and 5.79. Rea doesn't generate many strikeouts. The Rays can exploit this.
The Brewers remain without injured outfielder Christian Yelich.
