Tampa Bay at Seattle

Tampa Bay is now tied for first place in the AL East after losing its last five games, but the Rays still are clear favorites in this game as they face Marco Gonzales, who is 1-4 with a 5.44 ERA. He has also allowed 25 runs on 42 hits in 41 1/3 innings. Seattle has lost four of his last five starts, and even when he pitches well, he doesn't get much run support. Tampa Bay is 4-0 the last four times it lost the first three games of a series, and the Rays are 18-6 after scoring at least five runs their previous game. Also, Tampa Bay has won 10 of 14 versus left-handed starters overall, and they are 10-4 against southpaw starters on the road. Take the Rays.
