Result: Win
No real knocks on Alex Colome, who will start for TB here. His last outing was downright ugly, but for the most part, Colome has accomplished his mission. I'm going to side with the first time starter today. Cody Anderson has had a nice year at two levels for the Indians. Coming into this season, the righty was somewhat stuck on the organizational chart. Anderson doesn't have blow away stuff but his BB/K rates have improved this season and the buzz I've heard is that he's gone from nibbling to attacking. The big edge for Anderson today is that no one on the Rays has ever faced him. That might not seem like it's significant, but if you look at results for debuting starting pitchers, there's apparently something to it. Play the INDIANS.
