The Under is 35-17 in the last 52 meetings between the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays including 8-2 this season, and we are looking for more of the same tonight.

Rays starter Scott Kazmir was roughed up by the Seattle Mariners on the road in his last start, but he pitched very well in his previous two starts here at the Trop, allowing a total of four runs in 13 innings with nine strikeouts vs. just two walks. He also has the good fortune to be catching a Toronto lineup that is not hitting nearly as well vs. left-handers (.246) as vs. right-handers (.270) over the last 10 games.

The Jays counter with fellow southpaw Brian Tallet, who has been very inconsistent this season. However, he can have success tonight, as the Rays have been even worse than Toronto vs. lefties the last 10 games, batting a microscopic .218 against them. Yes, Tampa Bay is averaging 5.20 runs in this span, but they are averaging just 3.99 runs per nine innings vs. left-handers compared to 5.47 R/9 vs. righties.

Look for the Under dominance in this series to continue for at least one more game.
