Tampa Bay Rays

Last nights action was held to only a couple of games. To bad we had to wait until 10:05 P.M. game time to start those sizzling Tampa Bay Rays. Didn’t see this coming…… Joe Saunders has been one of the best pitchers in baseball 9-2 going into last night’s game with the Rays. It all started in the second inning for the young left hander, back to back to back home runs hit. However another rising star that’s having a nice rookie season, Evan Longoria, was followed by Aybar and Navarro also with solo shots. Bye the end of the 4th inning the Angles had the lead back. They did not keep the Rays down for long they went on to have 18 hits in the game along with 4 home runs, 2 by Mr. Longoria. Of those in the 9th Crawford and Upton continued to score runs and get RBI’s, but the stars of the night were Longoria and Navarro. They went for a combined total of 7 runs and 7 RBI’s for fantasy owners. That’s a nice night!!!!!!!

Today’s game will show another great match up between two pitchers who are looking to break out. James Shield Strikeout rate has been down a little (from last season’s rate) but with the run support that the Rays have been giving him, this season he is a great start for any Fantasy Team. Weaver on the other hand is a good pitcher but at times looks like he has forgotten how to throw strikes.
