The Tampa Bay Rays are 8-3 on the season following a 5-1 victory in the opener of a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. They're 5-2 SU and against the runline as a favorite on the season, and I think we're getting good value on the Rays to win by at least two runs today.

The White Sox hand the ball to right-hander Ervin Santana (2018: 0-1, 8.03 ERA) for his team debut. Santana made just five starts with Minnesota last year due to various injuries and might be on a pitch count in this contest. He has posted a 5.31 ERA in 17 starts versus the Rays and I think they'll chase him off the mound early here, only for one of the worst bullpens in baseball to take over.

The Rays counter with veteran right-hander Charlie Morton (1-0, 1.64 ERA) who has opened the season strong, allowing just a pair of runs with 14 strikeouts through 11 innings of work.

The White Sox are 2-11 in their last 13 after allowing five runs or more in their previous game and 1-7 in their last 8 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

10* play on Tampa Bay Rays.
