The Early Domination Side is on the Tampa Bay Rays. Game 922 at 12:10 eastern. Home favorites in this range have won ALL 11 TIMES since 2005 if they are off a 1 run home favored loss, the total is 8 or less, they scored 5+ runs on 10+ hits and are playing an opponent off 1 run road dog win that scored 5+ runs and had no errors. Even better, in those 11 wins 10 were run line winners. The Pirates average 2.8 runs in day games and have lost 4 of 5 as a road dog in this range. Tampa has D. Price going and they have won 4 of 5 if they lost his last start. The Pirates have Charlie "mediocre" Morton on the mound with his 4.62 road era. With Tampa 6-1 at home off a 1 run home favored loss where they scored 5 or more runs we will back the Rays today.



On Wednesday the World Cup Power Play is on Switzerland at 4:00 eastern. The Swiss should rebound off their worst loss, 5-2 vs France in recent times. Consider that Switzerland had allowed just one goal in their prior 7 World Cup games coming into this tournament. Honduras have won just one of their last nine matches. Honduras put big efforts into their first two games without taking any points and may have an empty tank here when they take on Switzerland in Manaus. The Swiss defense was shredded in their 5-2 loss to France but looked decent going forward and can expose the gaps in a mediocre Honduran back field. Honduras scored a goal in their loss to Ecuador but had just one goal in 569 minutes up to that point. Look for the Switzerland to team to rebound and get the win here.
