The AL East leading Tampa Bay Rays will go for a sweep of the last place Baltimore Orioles when they wrap up their 3-game set in a matinée today in St. Pete. The Rays rarely lose at home, with a record of 18-5, and are expected to give the nod to Jesse Scholtens, who is 4-2 with a 3.06 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. The Orioles are a dismal 9-16 away from Birdland and are expected to send Shane Baz to the bump. His numbers are not good. The ex-Ray is 1-5 with a 5.26 ERA, a 1.52 WHIP, and Baltimore is 1-7 in his last 8 starts. The Rays are the side to consider here.
