The White Sox are in the midst of a full blown youth movement and have a couple key hitters hurt. But they are a respectable 6-6 in their last 12 games and I don't believe Blake Snell should be this high of a road favorite. So that allows me to get involved on the run line. The Rays have a losing road record on the season.
Snell has been pitching better. But he's more effective pitching at Tropicana Field, which is turf. His road ERA is 4.76. The Rays are 5-12 in Snell's last 17 away starts.
Only once during their last 12 road contests have the Rays managed to string together consecutive victories. They are off a win against the Royals in their last game.
Reynaldo Lopez is set to make his third start of the year. He had been on DL due to a back strain. He says he's 100 percent now and ready to pitch his best ball. I liked Lopez's potential whe he was with the Nationals last year. The Rays have never seen him.
