Monday 0-1: The card didn't appeal to me very much and I was short on time so I decided to stay disciplined and eat the loss. Got the start out of Dickey I wanted for my +100 RL play, but the Mets shit the bed against Alex White n company. Needless to say no Mutts anytime soon..

Rays RL (-115): The hottest team in Baseball will look to continue there winning ways with ace David Price taking the mound. This guy has been down right filthy late and pretty much unhittable lately. In his last 3 outings Price is 2-0 with a microscopic era of 0.82. His WHIP is even lower at 0.77, which of course tells us he isn't pitching out of the stretch and not relying on his defense to get him out of jams. He is simply owning everyone he is facing lately. Price has been money at home this year as well, coming in with a 7-2 mark and a 1.82 era. His season long WHIP @ Tropicana field is a solid 0.92. He should have no problems facing a Royals offense that ranks in the bottom half against lefties at #18 overall. On the flip side the Royals will be sending Luke Hochevar to the hill in this one. Coming into tonight's game he is 7-11 on the year with a 5.24 era. In terms of his recent play he is 0-2 and has a 5.40 era in his last 3 outings. Luke hasn't been that good on the road either, coming in with a 5-6 mark and a 5.43 era. The one stat trending in the wrong direction in Luke's road starts is a WHIP of 1.50, which is significantly higher then his home starts. He will be playing with fire if he gives up free passes and pitches out of the stretch against a red hot Rays team who are getting the job done in both offense and pitching. The one thing Luke has in common with his seasonal #s, road #s and recent #s is an era in the 5s. Luke is consist and consistently bad. This makes me feel pretty confident that nothing is indicating he is gonna randomly throw a gem in Tuesday's outing. The Rays have been scorching hot lately winners in 12 of there last 14 outings. We all know this team for there lights out pitching, but the offense has been getting it done as well. The Rays have scored 5 or more runs in 5 consecutive starts. They have scored a total of 85 runs during this 14 game stretch which is an average of just over 6 runs per game. With the Rays sending David Price to the mound in this game, I feel if they can even get 4 runs on the board against the struggling Hochevar then the RL has a very very good chance of hitting. The Rays also have one of the best bullpens in the league, which of course is a big factor in protecting RLs, especially at home. I feel Price will go 8 strong and hand the rock over to Rodney to close the door. This is also another situational game for the Rays, they are within striking distance of the Yankees for the AL East and every game is being treated that way lately. They silenced the critics in completing the sweep in LAA, and then immediately turned around and silenced some more doubters when they avoided a classic let down spot in Monday's game, following a long travel and time zone changes etc. They are focused and with Price on the hill, this one feels good.
few other leans, but will wait n see how things are looking in the am... as always best of luck everyone
