Francisco Liriano has been exactly .500 since only getting one out in his opening start of the season. He’s 2-2 with an ERA a shade under 4.00, allowing about a hit per inning with his usual higher-than-desired walk rate.
Those BBs have been a problem in the last two outings – four apiece. Liriano will absolutely overpower the Rays but could find trouble if he isn’t around the plate.
The Rays can take ball four and give a pitcher fits once they reach first base.
Tampa Bay Rays
Tampa Bay beat Miami in its series finale yesterday and will wait at home for their new opponent.
Chris Archer’s last start came against Toronto, the last day of last month. He went 7.1 innings in that one and only gave up four hits and a run.

It will be harder to do it again but Archer is at home. He’s gone at least seven innings in two of his three starts at the Trop so far in 2017.
