Guardians vs Rays Game Details

  • Date: Sunday September 7th
  • Venue: Steinbrenner Field
  • TV Channel: CLEG

Spotlight Players

  • Rookie left-hander Parker Messick (1-0 2.08 ERA) will make his fourth career major league start for the Guardians. Last time out, Messick (3.2 IP) was roughed up for nine hits and three runs during a 6-4 road loss against Boston.
  • Twenty-two year old 3B Junior Caminero has been on a tear for the Rays over the last week. In his last 21 at-bats, Caminero has racked up 10 hits to go along with two home runs and nine RBIs. Caminero ranks sixth in the majors with 41 long balls.
  • Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash will turn to thirty year old right-hander Drew Rasmussen (10-5 2.74 ERA) on Sunday. Last time out, Rasmussen served up three home runs in five innings during a 6-5 home victory versus Seattle.
  • The most obvious Cleveland player to find success against Rasmussen is seven-time All-Star Jose Ramirez. In the first two games of this series, Ramirez went 5-for-9 with a home run and three RBIs.

Supporting Cast & Depth

  • In Tampa Bay’s first meeting against Messick, veteran DH Yandy Diaz saw the ball well with a pair of hits including a double in three at-bats.
  • Cleveland leadoff hitter Steven Kwan is heating up at the plate and has collected eight hits and scored four runs over his last five games.

Betting Line Breakdown

  • Both teams are clinging to faint postseason chances, but the Rays are in better form. Look for Tampa Bay slugger Junior Caminero to have success against the rookie Messick and lead his team to a win at home.
