5* MLB Run Line Game of the Week on Rays -1.5 -120
The Rays are 5-0 in their last 5 games, winning them by an average of 5.4 runs. They won each of those contests by at least 2 runs.

Tampa Bay is also 4-0 in its last 4 home games, winning those by an average of 3.5 runs.

In addition, the Rays have the advantage on the mound with ace David Price, who is 8-0 with a 1.72 ERA over his last 11 starts. He's arguably pitching the most dominant baseball of his career, which doesn't bode well for a Kansas City club that hasn't faced him since 2010.

Kansas City's Luke Hochevar has been inconsistent all season, as evidenced by his 7-11 record and 5.24 ERA.

The Rays are the hotter team, they're at home and they have their ace on the hill. I'll ride them tonight on the run line.
