On Tuesday the play is on the Tampa Bay Rays. Game 971 at 7:05 eastern. The Rays finally broke the long losing streak last night. They allowed 4 runs in the first inning then rallied to a solid 8-4 win. Tonight they have a nice pitching adavantage with J.Niemann. In Niemann road starts this year Tampa is 10-7 with a 4.10 road era. Not bad considering the division he pitches in. Niemann has been especially good of late with a 1.67 era,allowing just 4 runs in 21 plus innings. In his starts vs the Orioles he is 3-1. Baltimore counters with young right hander Berken. In his home starts Berken is just 3-8 with a 4.95 era. In his lone start vs the Rays he was roughed up for 5 runs in 5 innings. Teams coming off lone losing streaks usually do well once they get back on track. Take the Rays. bol GC-
