Jose Berrios has had his issues on the road this season, but he’s allowed just 5 earned runs in his last 18.1 innings, and that includes a quality start against these Rays. The Tampa Bay Rays didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but I’m not sure if it matters much. The Rays’ offense is dead right now, as they’ve scored just 2 combined runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 9 tries. Give me the Blue Jays.
