The Tampa Bay Rays gun for their sixth straight home win against the Detroit Tigers in Monday night’s season-opener at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburgh, Florida. The Rays dropped to 12-11 after their late rally fell short in the series finale against the New York Yankees, 5-4. The Tigers, meanwhile, are coming off a 6-1 over the Minnesota Twins to improve their record to 12-10. The Tigers parade an elite pitching numbers as they rank second in ERA (2.94), second in WHIP (1.11), first in BAA (.208). Their batting metrics, though, have been subpar.
