Sport: MLBPick Selection: Rays
At 1:40 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over Detroit. I've been on the Tigers a lot this season behind their rookie, Armando Galarraga, but I'm going to fade Jim Leyland's crew this afternoon. After all, Tampa Bay has excelled at home at Tropicana Field, and Detroit has under-performed vs. right-handed starters this year, going just 34-46 overall. Moreover, Tampa Bay is a spectacular 18-1 when priced as a home favorite of -150 to -200 (currently, the Rays are favored -155 over Detroit). James Shields is 7-1 in his 12 home starts this season with a super 2.16 ERA. Take Tampa Bay. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
