Tampa Bay at San Francisco

This is the third straight road game for Tampa Bay, 3,000 miles from home. The Rays are ranked #20 in runs scored, #22 in on-base percentage, and lose the DH for this interleague series. Starter Yonny Chirinos was a rookie last year and had a losing road record. He faces a San Francisco squad off a 6-4 win yesterday as a dog and is playing its third straight home contest. Giants lefty Drew Pomeranz (3.60 ERA) threw well in his lone start against the powerhouse Dodgers. Two years ago he was 17-6 with a 3.32 ERA while pitching half his games in hitter-friendly Fenway Park. San Francisco has won four of five against the Rays, so back the home dog again. Play San Francisco.
