The Rays roll into Rogers Centre riding high after Tuesday's 12-2 beatdown, extending their season stranglehold over Toronto to 5-1 while averaging a ridiculous 6.67 runs per game in the series. The Blue Jays, meanwhile, have managed a measly 3.17 runs per contest against Tampa Bay—a trend that doesn't inspire confidence even at home.

Griffin Jax takes the ball for the Rays with his 4.08 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, squaring off against Toronto's Braydon Fisher (3.65 ERA, 1.18 WHIP). On paper, the pitching matchup is a wash. But that's where Toronto's hope ends. Tampa Bay's offense is clicking at .261 as a team compared to the Jays' anemic .242, and Junior Caminero continues to terrorize opposing pitching with a .940 OPS that makes him a constant threat in the middle of the order.

DarkHorse likes the Rays at -104, and it's hard to argue. That price implies just a 51% win probability, but Tampa Bay's recent dominance and superior lineup suggest they're undervalued. Toronto needs to prove they can actually solve this Rays squad—until then, fade the home team and ride the momentum. Rays to complete the sweep.
