The Rays have beaten the Tigers in 7 of the last 8 head to head meetings with all 7 wins coming by 2 runs or more. Expect that to continue here. Rays started Jeffrey Springs pitched 14 scoreless innings this spring and tossed six scoreless innings against the Tigers last season.
Tiger starter Joey Wentz posted a 7.98 ERA in the spring. Although I expect better from Wentz here, the Tigers offense is terrible, and I don't see them getting more than a max of 2 runs in this one. I will back the Rays -1.5.
