Detroit evened their home series vs the Rays on Saturday much to my surprise and dismay. It will be Manning vs Glasnow on Sunday. Glasnow has been super sharp lately, giving the Rays seven innings in three straight games, while allowing just four runs total. He has pitched better on the road this season. Manning returned from the IL in fine form, but his last two games have been poor. He has given up 4 home runs in the two games.

The Rays really should win this one. The Tigers are poor at home and 29th in the league against right handed pitching. Glasnow is one of the finest right handers around at the moment. The Rays are hitting much better than in their dark days of July, and fifth in the league against right handers. Their bullpen is showing signs of improvement, and has a decided edge on the Tigers' relief corps. Considering how the Orioles are playing, Tampa really can't afford a series loss to a lesser team like the Tigers.

Tampa is 4-1 against the Tigers this year, including Friday's 8-0 pasting. Look for Tampa to rebound from Saturday's loss in a big way. Game three will go to the Rays. Take Tampa on the Run line at -1 1/2.
