Even though the Rays have been playing well it has to be a slap in the face to see David Price traded. That could affect them in this their first game without their stud pitcher.

Jeremy Hellickson is rounding into shape and can't be counted on. This will be just his third start of the year. He has yet to turn the corner and be the consistent winner the Rays envisioned. The Rays are 2-7 the past nine times Hellickson has faced an opponent with a winning record.

The Angels know how to win on turf having won seven of the past eight times on that surface. They also are 21-8 the past 29 times facing a right-hander.

Angels starter Matt Shoemaker is coming off his best start blanking the Tigers for seven innings on just three hits this past Saturday in a 4-0 victory.
