Boys,
As you may know, I have a site where I audiocast my plays each day. I have what amounts to the strongest play of the season today Saturday May 22nd. I like this game for several reasons, not the least of which is the team I am advising lost last night as a big chalk.
..........................Play the Rays, lay the 150 and also lay the run and a half and you wont pay any juice. They are in Houston so TB will get all their at bats (if they were at home and leading, they would not get the benefit of their last 3 outs and this could be important if it is a tight game). Rodriguez is chucking for the Astros (2-5 4.30 ERA 1.52 WHIP) and last time at home he could not even get to the 5th inning against Arizona as he let up 5 earned runs on 9 hits. Now he's got to face a potent Tampa bay line up with a nice pitcher in Jeff Niemann (3-0 2.54 ERA 1.15 WHIP) on the hill for the Rays.
TB is 17-5 on the road averaging 5.9 runs per game while the Astros are 9-16 at home averaging 3.0 runs per game.
Look, there's no such thing as a lock and there are no guarantees. We all know that. In addition, you'll probably lay north of 150 as this line should rise. Not easy to stomach if it goes down. But this looks like a game of the year kind of play to me. Just my 2 cents.
