#916 ASA PLAY ON 8* Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 on the Run Line (+115) over St Louis Cardinals, Thursday at 6:40 PM ET - Taking a look at the projected starters here, the Cardinals are likely handing the ball to Matthew Liberatore for this one. He is having a very rough season and is winless with an 11.48 ERA in his 4 road starts this season. As for the Rays, they are expected to start Zack Littell in this one. He is coming off a very strong start and has allowed just 2 earned runs in 11 innings over his last two starts. The Cardinals got the upset win yesterday but St Louis is just 27-45 in night games this season and only 31-45 against teams with a winning record. The Rays play in the tough AL East but are having a rock solid season and they have dominated lesser teams. Tampa Bay is 31-13 against teams with a losing record this season! Also, the Rays are 38-20 in home games and a stellar 14-6 against left-handed starters. Coming off a loss, this is a great spot to back the Rays. The edges in home field and pitching (including bullpen) go to TB here. Also, the Cardinals had lost 12 of 17 games before the win yesterday and they have not won B2B games since mid-July. We are getting some nice value laying -1.5 in this one for a comeback price in the +115 range with the Rays. Lay the 1.5 runs here!
