THE PLAY: Total Under 7.0 (-108) S Baz (RHP), M King (RHP) Must Start
San Diego starter Michael King projects to give up just 1.8 runs with a 2.99 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Tampa Bay’s lineup has hit just .200 (5-25) with a weak .650 OPS against King in his career. The Rays will start Shane Baz. The righty projects to give up 2.2 earned runs with a 3.33 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. With both starting pitchers projecting well, expect the offenses to struggle resulting in a low-scoring game on Friday night.
Play UNDER the total.
