YTD: 10-11;
Rays under 9.5 -116
This will be Niemann's second start in the MLB tomorrow. He won his first game on Sunday against the Orioles when he pitched 6 good innings. The first inning, being his first start ever showed some tension and being nervous; only to settle down for the next 5 innings pretty easily. Feel it will take some hitters a few scouting reports in the majors to get use to his curveball and should have a good advantage tomorrow vs the White Sox. Rays offense has been good at times, yet inconsistent. They score big in 1 inning, yet go on a drought for 10 straight. Frustating.
Vazquez has pretty much owned the Rays over his career. I don't have the official stats on me, but know he has been solid over his career against my Rays. Vazquez has gotten out to a decent start so far with a 2-1 record with a 3.74 era. He has 21 K in 19 IP so far this season as well.
Only concern for me, is the splits so far on Vazquez.
Vs righties: 12/33 6 rbi's .364 average
Vs lefties: 5/39 1 rbi .128 average
Rays will use a lot of lefties, but again have showed inconsistenties of scoring runs.
GL to all tomorrow.
