Tropicana Field is the site of the matchup between the Texas Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, April 18, 2018. The probable starting pitchers are Cole Hamels for the Rangers and Jake Faria for the Rays.

I am backing the TB Rays with Jake Faria here on Wednesday afternoon after he yielded just two hits, a career low as a starter Friday vs. the Phils. His seven K's were a season high and his command was great. The only run he allowed scored after he left the game. The Texas hitters have never faced him and that advantage goes to the pitcher and Tampa Bay here on Wednesday as our daytime dominator.
