Chris Archer (1-4 5.01 ERA) is the supposed Ace of the Rays’ staff and while he has gotten off to a rough start he has had 2 straight solid outings. In his last start he gave up 2 earned runs in 6 innings in a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Rays have won Archer’s last 2 starts after losing his first 4 of the season.
Archer is 4-1 with a 2.97 ERA in 5 career starts against the Angels.
In Archer’s last 2 starts he has only given up 2 earned runs while in his first 4 of the season he had an ERA north of 7.00.
The Rays are only 3-5 on the road this season.
L.A. Angels
Reigning MVP Mike Trout has gotten back on track after a slow start, but the Angels are still struggling to score runs only ranking 23rd in that category. Their pitching has been pretty solid ranking 13th in team ERA.
Cory Rasmus (0-1 4.40 ERA) will likely get the start tonight if starter Garrett Richards is scratched. He is a relief pitcher and this will be his first start of the season if he gets the call. He has appeared in 8 games this season all Angels losses.
In the last 2 seasons Rasmus has only made 3 starts.
The Angels’ offense has showed life as of late, but getting to Archer, who looks to be back on track after a rough start may be an uphill battle. Still, the Rays have lost their last 5 road games when Archer has gotten the starting nod.
The Angels are 0-4 in Rasmus’ last 4 starts.
