TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS +110 - Break up the Devil Rays! Tampa Bay has now won 5 consecutive games, and a win tonight would match the longest winning streak in team history. While I know that this will not last, they still offer some decent value here as a home underdog in their current form. Greisinger is 1-3 with a 5.52 ERA and a poor 1.67 WHIP for Minnesota, and frankly, I do not think he merits being road chalk vs. ANYONE right now! Sure, Bell does not exactly have sparkling numbers for the Rays either, but if we call the starting pitching match-up a wash, that still makes the D-Rays a nice proposition as a dog. As bad as Bell has been, his teams have still managed to go 18-9, 66.7% in his last 27 home starts at night. Finally, the Tampa Bay bullpen has now moved up to 4th in the AL with a group ERA of 3.55, while the Minnesota pen is 2nd to last in the league ahead of only Cleveland, with a 4.56 ERA.
