Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Tampa Bay: Alex Cobb (7-6, 3.75 ERA)<br />
Los Angeles: JC Ramirez (8-7, 4.46 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Alex Cob goes for the Rays tonight and his last start was a good one going seven innings and not giving up any earned runs in a 1-0 win over the Boston Red Sox. The Rays have won three of his last four starts and in the wins, he only gave up two earned runs and in the loss he gave up six. Cobb’s lone start against the Angels this season was on May 23rd in Tampa Bay where he gave up four earned runs in seven innings in a 4-0 Rays loss. The Rays have lost five of Cobb’s last seven road starts against a team with a losing record and they have lost four of his last five starts against teams from the AL West.
</p>
<p>
JC Ramirez gets the nod for the Angels and in his last start he was sharp not giving up any earned runs in six innings in a 3-0 win over the Texas Rangers. The Angels had lost his previous two starts where he gave up nine earned runs in 10 innings. Ramirez has given up five earned runs in each of his last two home starts. He faced the Rays in Tampa Bay on May 22nd and had a pretty good outing going six innings and giving up two earned runs in a 3-2 Angels win. L.A. has won five of Ramirez’s last seven games in Game 2 of a series. In four of Ramirez’s last six home starts he has given up at least five earned runs.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. L.A. Angels Prediction

The Rays have won three in a row and four of their last five games and they recently passed the New York Yankees and are now in 2nd place in the AL East 3.5 games back of the Boston Red Sox. Their pitching has been superb as of late, as in their last three games they have only given up a total of four runs. The Tampa Bay pitching has had to be solid lately since they have only totaled 15 runs in their last five games. While the Rays are surging the Angels are struggling losers of five of their last eight games. In their last four games, they have only scored a total of six runs. Reigning MVP Mike Trout is just off the DL after missing several weeks with a thumb injury and in the first game of this series he was 1 for 5. Cobb has pitched well as of late and look for him to have another good outing tonight facing an Angels lineup that has really struggled to score runs in their last few games. While Ramirez has not pitched well in his last few games at home he is coming off a good last start. He will have a good outing tonight as well, but Cobb will out-duel him and just like Game 1 the Rays will win in a low scoring affair.
