Rain no longer appears as if it will be in the forecast for this game.
This one was looking like an under lean even without any rain in the forecast.
Though the sample size is relatively low, Boston starter Tanner Houke has allowed just 9 hits off of 35 at bats versus these Rays. There were three RBIs and zero home runs over this span. He's 3-4 with a 2.24 ERA coming into Wednesday's game.
He just surrendered three runs in seven innings Friday against the Nationals for the loss after allowing four runs in six innings vs. the Twins and should, in theory at least, put up a strong performance in this game.
Taj Bradley is 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA for Tampa. In his last start back from injury against the Yankees, he gave up just one run over six innings and still lost. He shut out the Yankees prior to going on the injury list.
Again, all things point to this game hitting 7 or under based on the starting pitching. This series of late has featured a total of 8 to 8.5 in seven of the last nine.
