Tampa Bay Rays & Houston Astros Squad Analysis

Rays ace Shane McClanahan takes the mound for the home team Tampa Bay Rays and will be looking to add to his excellent seasonal results. The lefty is 12-5 on the year with a superb ERA of 2.13. In 25 starts. McClanhan looked good in his last outing on the 15th of September, pitching five innings of shutout baseball with only three hits against and five strikeouts. The Rays will be confident of a result as they are 16-10 this season with McClanahan on the bump. Getting the start for the Astros is Christian Javier who comes in with a 9-9 record and solid 2.87 seasonal ERA. Javier was excellent in his last start, going six innings while only allowing two hits and zero earned runs while striking out eight batters. As we previously mentioned, however, Javier always has the potential home run in him as he has struggled with it all year.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Houston Astros Prediction

We’re going to back the Tampa Bay Rays to bounce back in game two and win this one in front of the home fans. We’re expecting an improved offensive performance from the Rays, who couldn’t get the bats going in game one and were shutout. Against a pitcher in the Astros’ Christian Javier, the Rays will fancy their chances to hit one out of the park against a pitcher that has struggled in that respect this season. This is an excellent pitching matchup overall with both pitchers having fine years for their ball clubs. The Rays are a strong home team so expect a response here.
