Tampa Bay is an underrated offensive team and gets a shot today at fill-in starter Daniel Wright.
Wright hasn't proven up to the task in the majors so far. He had a 5.54 ERA in limited innings with the Reds and Angels last season and he has a 5.68 ERA in 12 2/3 innings this season. The Angels sent Wright to Triple-A Salt Lake City where he's continued to struggle posting a 9.35 ERA in four starts allowing opposing hitters to bat .316 against him.
I see this as an opportunity to go against a pitcher who hasn't proven major league worthy, or ready.
But I also don't trust Tampa Bay starter Matt Andriese and a bad Rays bullpen. I believe the Angels can put up their share of runs, too.
