Odorizzi versus Price: statistically Odorizzi is better. I believe we have a case of perception at odds with reality. At this price it's worth it to take Tampa. Thoughts??
Also, Minnesota team total under 4-1/2 looks good at -110. Griffin for the Rangers in 9 starts has only been involved in one game where the opposing team has scored more. That was Detroit .
I love Rays vs lefties anyways. Thing that worries me is Boston bullpen, I think, is significantly better (maybe just much better with Kimbrel injury) and Bosox bats at home always scare me. I'm hopping on Rays 1st 5 to isolate Price.
Price has not been good at all, but after getting rocked early in games, he does seem to be settling down after that. As a Sox fan, I just have not been able to figure him out yet.
This game definitely piqued my interest. IMHO, I thought taking the over was the best play here. Rays can score vs Price and lefties in general. Sox can score runs against righties and lefties. I don't feel comfortable picking a side. Both pitchers are giving up runs lately. Good luck with whatever you decide.
