LISTED PITCHERS
KIKUCHI/ MCCLANAHAN
QUICK ANALYSIS
This is similar when we take teams that are shut out or beat down badly in their last game. We have a system that tells us if all parameters are right, they are a bounce back play. Well 20-1 does not get any more beatdown. We will play the first 5 here on the run line as Mcclanahan at home as been lights out this season. He is sporting a 1.20 ERA and he has already faced this Blue Jay club in Toronto this year. In that game he held the Jays to 1 run over 6 innings. We will look for more of the same today. As for Kikuchi he is a pitcher we faded early and have left alone of late. However he is in a bad spot here facing a pissed off TB club who hits .303 against LH pitching. Yusei has had trouble in May sporting a 5.59 ERA and we see the Rays getting to him early and often in this one.
