The Tampa Bay Rays will look to end their 3-game slide and even the series with the Baltimore Orioles at a game apiece tonight at Camden Yards. The injuries are starting to pile up for Tampa but they will have their ace and the best pitcher in the Majors on the hill tonight, lefty Shane McClanahan. His numbers are impressive. McClanahan is 10-3 with an ERA of only 1.71 and a WHIP barely visible at 0.80. Baltimore is expected to counter with Spenser Watkins, who has decent numbers at 3-1 with a 3.93 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP, but in his career against Tampa he has not fared well, going 1-3 with an ERA of 7.71. The Rays have won 7 of the 13 meetings this year with the O’s and if they are going to get back on track, McClanahan is the guy you want on the bump.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS
