#975/976 ASA PLAY ON 8* Under 7 Runs – Pittsburgh Pirates @ Tampa Bay Rays, Wednesday at 6:40 PM ET - The Rays took game 1 of this 3-game series last night by a final score of 4-1 with the two teams combining for only 11 hits. We see a similar result this evening. Both teams have high level starters taking the mound with the Pirates Mitch Keller and the Rays Shane Mcclanahan. Keller has been red hot as he allowed an average of 2 earned runs per start in 5 starts and 31 innings pitched last month. Keller has been missing plenty of bats with 40 strikeouts in 35.2 innings pitched this season. Tampa Bay will counter with Shane Mcclanahan. The Rays ace left-hander has been sharp as of late (and really all season!) as he has allowed just 8 earned runs in his 6 starts this season and struck out 19 in his last two home starts in 11 innings combined. McClanahan is 5-0 this season and Keller is 3-0 this season. You have two guys who are getting a lot of strikeouts plus pitching with a high level of confidence right now. You also have a match-up featuring two very strong bullpens. The Pirates bullpen ERA ranks them 2nd in National League and the Rays bullpen ERA ranks them 3rd in the majors! Just like last night, this game sets up as another low scoring affair. Let’s take the Under in this one.
