Blue Jays at Rays 9/30/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Tampa Bay is looking to right the losing the skid they have been on so far. However, that includes a loss to the Blue Jays to open up the series here. However, the Rays are a team that does have a lot of unrealized potential on the season so far. With the Blue Jays they are the team that just faded away over time and dropped out of contention fairly early on and never were able to bounce back on the year.

The Rays are coming into the game with C.J. Cron as the leading hitter on the year. Cron has managed to send 29 balls to the stands and driven in 73 runs. He has managed to do decent hitting as well with an average of .255.

Justin Smoak has been the leading hitter for the Blue Jays as he has been able to hit a total of 25 homers and driven in 77 runs. He has managed to get an average of .242 on the season so far. Marco Estrada is the pitcher who the Blue Jays are planning on sending out to the mound in this game. So far on the season Estrada has been able to throw a total of 143.2 innings and has struck out 103 batters. He has posted a record of 7-14 and has an ERA of 5.64.

The Rays are not announcing who they are planning on sending out to the mound. However, since the Rays are out of the playoffs they could do what a lot of the non-contending teams are doing and just going to make it into a bullpen game.
