We got burned by playing the Under in this Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays matchup yesterday, but we are coming right back with the same play today.

Even with that Over yesterday, the Under is still 35-18 in the last 53 head-to-head meetings including 8-3 this season. More importantly, Rays starter Matt Garza has simply owned the Blue Jays throughout his brief career. Garza has now allowed two runs or less in each of his last seven starts vs. Toronto, including three starts this season where he has allowed a total of four runs and 18 hits in 23 innings.

Meanwhile, Marc Rzepczynski has yet to allow more than four runs in seven Major League starts including allowing three earned runs or less in five of them. He pitched well in his only start vs. the Rays this season, surrendering just one run and only two hits in six innings right here in Tampa. Not surprisingly, the Under is 5-1-1 in all of his starts thus season.

Look for both pitchers to show up today and keep this game Under.
