The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off back-to-back losses at Texas, but I like them to bounce back here in the opener of a three-game series against the Halos.

Angels' left-hander Andrew Heaney (4-4, 4.30 ERA) has been roughed up in his two most recent starts, and here he'll face a motivated Rays team that is 11-3 in their last 14 overall and trying to cling on to one of the wild cards in the American League.

As for Tampa Bay starter Charlie Morton (14-6, 3.11 ERA), the right-hander has recorded eight strikeouts or more in six of his last nine starts. The Rays are 8-0 in Morton's last eight road starts vs. a team with a losing record and Morton is 3-1 with a 4.31 ERA in eight career starts against the Angels.

LAA has scored a total of just six runs during an 0-4 slide, and I think we're getting a great price on the better team with arguably the better pitcher.

10* play on Tampa Bay Rays.
