TUESDAY NIGHT NO BRAINER - MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Washington,
Money Line: -147.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
The Tampa Bay Rays will be looking to tie the series after dropping the opener 6-1 on Monday.

The Rays struggled to get to Max Scherzer, but their bats should have more success tonight against Nats righty Anibal Sanchez (1-4, 6.48 ERA) who has been lit up for nine runs (six earned) on 16 hits over 8 1/3 frames in his last two starts combined.

The Rays counter with left-hander Ryan Yarbrough (0-2, 3.65 ERA) who is still looking for his first winning decision despite some solid pitching. Last time out, he held Miami scoreless through 6 2/3 innings of four-hit ball in a 2-0 Rays win over Miami, and the team has won three of his last four starts.

Rays are 8-0 in their last 8 games following a loss and 14-3 in their last 17 road games. Nationals are 5-15 in their last 20 home games and 1-8 in their last 9 games following a win.

8* play on Tampa Bay Rays.
