The set-up: I think Dan Straily and the offensively challenged Marlins struggle in the opener of this interleague series. Nate Eovaldi and the Rays will look to take advantage.

The pitchers: Straily is so far 3-4 with a 4.29 ERA. He's been hit or miss this year and he comes into this one with a 1-3, 3.67 ERA record on the road.

Eovaldi is so far 3-4 with a 4.59 ERA. He has looked brilliant at times this year and extremely pedestrian in others. Eovaldi has however been at his absolute best in front of the home town crowd this season by going 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA thus far.

The pick: And take it for what you will, but Miami is a poor 14-17 in its last 31 when playing with three or more days of rest while Tampa is 7-2 in its last nine when playing with three or more days of rest. I like the Rays to take advantage of this favorable matchup and for Eovaldi to out duel his interleague counterpart. Play on Tampa.
