I have the Rays favored here and projected to outscore the Cubs by less than half a run, so I’ll take Rays ML at even odds. Think the Rays have the starting pitching advantage with Rasmussen over Rea. Rea is due for negative regression (4.20 ERA vs a 4.91 xERA). Rea has also shown worse splits against LHB (allowing a .882 OPS to LHB compared to a .611 OPS to RHB this season) and the RotoGrinders team is projecting the Rays to have seven lefties in the starting lineup. As a whole this Cubs team is more talented but in this specific matchup I’ll side with the underdog Rays at these odds.
