On Saturday the MLB Free play is on the Tampa Bay Rays. Game 965 at 7:05 eastern. Tampa Bay may have been flat in Houston on Friday making the cross country trip after taking a pair in New York form the Yankees. Tonight they should be much more focused of their 2-1 loss.

Tampa is 20-6 vs losing teams, 8-1 as a raod favorite in this range and 17-5 on grass. Houston is just 1-6 as a home dog in this range and are hitting a paltry .230 over the past 7 games while averaging a shade over 2 runs. In the pitching match up the Rays have the edge with road warrior J.Niemann. Once again this year Niemann has been solid on the road as the Rays have won all 4 of his away starts. Niemann has a solid 2.22 road era.

Houston counters with Wandy Rodriguez tonight. W-Rod has been a solid home pitcher in past years. However this season he has an elevated 4.76 home era. This game will be no easy task. Look for the Rays to get back on track tonight.
