Yesterday’s Results for Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox

MLB 2-Team Multi-Pack - Thursday

Analysis: Righty Taj Bradley (5–6, 4.79 ERA in 18 GS) will take the hill for Tampa Bay Rays. Bradley has had quite a mixed season in terms of starts; some were good to great in terms of command and K/BB ratio, others lacked in command and efficiency. Nevertheless, Bradley usually gets him through five-six innings and keeps the Rays in games on most of occasions. Boston will be throwing Walker Buehler (6.25 ERA in 15 GS). Buehler has been around the Mendoza line for a big part of the season; being homer-prone and losing control on some occasions. He is able to have a good outing, of course, but is yet to string them together on a consistent basis this season. On paper, the skill is certainly there, and in his prime he was one of the best in the league, but the real Buehler has faltered quite often during this season. Rays have a lineup that does not have big sluggers but can beat you by keeping their bats in play and making you work. A down Buehler is certainly susceptible to their style, and with Bradly being a good enough strikeout pitcher Tampa Bay have an edge in the game. Runs have been a relatively equal category between both sides this season, however, the Rays had a little more from different places in the batting order than the Red Sox. Tampa Bay will be a favorite in this one, as they have a good pitching matchup on their side, and a batting order with enough talent to take advantage of any mistakes. Jim's Play: 959. Rays
