Tampa Bay at Miami

Miami never seems to get any better and this year is no different as the Marlins are in their usual spot in last place in the NL East. They have lost 13 of 17 and they are allowing 5.81 runs per game. Tampa Bay has won four of six and the Rays have won 13 of the past 15 meetings with the Marlins, including six in a row on the road. Tampa Bay currently has won nine of its past 11 road games and Taj Bradley has allowed only nine runs in four starts in 24 1/3 innings. Max Meyer has been hit hard lately allowing 15 runs on 20 hits in 15 1/3 innings. The Marlins are 1-8 in Meyer's past nine starts against teams with losing records and 1-6 when he starts the first game of a series. Take the Rays.
