Rays: Play to -110. I still think Odorizzi is one of the most undervalued pitchers in MLB. He was when the Shields-Myers trade went down and he was the unmentioned, unheralded asset the Rays picked up. The Royals have parted company with Shields and the Rays with Myers, but Odorizzi remains as a key part of a fine young pitching staff that can carry the Rays for years to come. He comes into this one off a knockout of Keuchel and the Astros and has compiled a 10-3 quality start record to date. He is 30-14 since the start of last year and that indicates a 68% probability of another quality, harder to achieve in my ratings than with the standard MLB description of 6 innings, 3 or less earned runs. The reality, in this day and age, with era’s way down, is more like 5/2 (3.60 era, not 4.50). Hutchison absolutely does not win without heavy run support so to lay the juice with the Jays you have to believe they will hit Odorizzi solidly. Considering he is a skilled strikeout-ground ball pitcher I don’t think that is likely to happen. False favorite, take the bonus $.
I may have another later and will try to let you know asap.
