10* Interleague Game of the Week
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -130.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
There are some obvious huge holes on the Tampa Bay offense, but their defense is set, with solid pitching and a decent fielding unit. This will have direct impact on the outcome of the game. If you watched Tampa Bay's games, this team plays best when the game is close, this game will follow the same typical pattern Then Mets pitchers give up a first pitch homeruns, once they start letting the balls fly - they are toast. Tampa Bay travels well enough to get the win. Mets are 1-5 in their last 6 interleague home games. I like the TB starter with Blake Snell who has posted a 2.08 ERA over his last five road starts with all five coming against teams ranked No. 12 or better in run scored in all of baseball. Overall, he has a 2.24 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 18 starts and he has allowed one run or less in seven of his last eight starts. This is a very good spot for the TB RAYS here on Saturday afternoon as our INTERLEAGUE GAME OF THE WEEK!
