The Tampa Bay Rays will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second game of a three-game interleague set. The Rays will look to even the series after dropping game one by sending Zach Eflin to the mound. He is 9-3 with a 3.35 ERA this season. The D'backs will counter with Zach Davies on the mound. He is 1-4 with a 7.82 ERA. Tampa Bay is second in the majors in OPS and is scoring 5.57 runs a game. Arizona is fifth in OPS and is scoring 5.18 runs per game up to this point. Zach Davies has struggled all season getting people out. Tampa Bay is 29-16 against teams above .500 this season while Arizona is a mediocre 21-21 in those same situations. If it goes to the pens the Rays have an advantage as they are 14th in the majors with a 3.87 reliever ERA while the Diamondbacks are 19th in MLB with a 4.12 bullpen ERA. I am looking for the Rays to bounce back and even the series as they have an advantage with their starter over the D.backs starter.

Play on Tampa Bay.
