The Rays defeated the White Sox and Dylan Cease 4-3 in extra innings just five days ago. Cease (2-0, 2.73 ERA) gave up three runs on six hits in four innings on the mound.

Rays' left-hander Shane McClanahan (4-0, 1.86 ERA) allowed two runs on three hits over six innings in that matchup.

McClanahan is 1-1 with an ERA of 3.18 and 22 strikeouts in three starts against the White Sox in his career.

The Rays have won each of McClanahan's five starts this year.

The Rays are 20-5 on the season, while the White Sox are 7-16. I think we're getting a great price on the hottest team in baseball.
