Saturday Bases May 8th

The Jays came through in extra innings, now at 16-12 (+251) on the season.

Today, I'm going back to the Tampa Bay Rays (-140).

Tampa Bay (22-7) won its fifth straight, 4-1 in Friday's series opener, their starters have gone 4-0 with a 1.17 ERA on this trip.

The pitching matchup Saturday appears to favor Tampa Bay even though Davis (3-1, 2.79) is in his second season while Oakland starter Ben Sheets (1-3, 7.12) is a four-time All-Star. Sheets is the second pitcher in Oakland history to allow at least eight earned runs in back-to-back outings.

I like riding a streaking team, and at -140, it is a generous line.

Good Luck!
