(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: -134.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
The Rays are one of those good at home teams (26-17) bad on the road (22-29) clubs. They are struggling in Minnesota right now losing the first two games at Target Field in this series. Tampa Bay has now lost 16 of its past 21 away games.

Expect the Rays to drop another road game here in a pitching matchup of Chris Archer versus Jose Berrios.

On paper the pitching matchup appears even. It is not. Berrios is a rising star who has been outstanding at home with a 7-2 mark, 2.49 ERA and 0.80 WHIP. Berrios is in excellent current form, too, with a 2.70 ERA during his last seven overall starts. Minnesota is 18-3 the past 21 times Berrios has pitched at Target Field, a winning percentage of 86 percent!

Archer isn't the pitcher right now of seasons past. He's 3-4 with a 4.41 ERA and is struggling since coming off the DL. He gave up three runs in only 3 1/3 innings versus the Tigers in his last start this past Monday.
