Jumping on the Padres in the underdog role to start off the weekend. Martin Perez has won each of the last 5 times he has taken the hill and is sporting a 2.20 ERA over his last 6 starts. Bradley is the slated starter for Tampa and the righty was rocked for 6 earned runs, giving up 2 bombs his last time out. Now up against a Padres lineup that smashes righties setting up for more of the same. 

Schedule spot is rough for the Rays in a go against situation in their first home game off a 10 game, 3 city west coast road trip. The dog is barking in Tropicana tonight. Starting off the weekend taking the Padres.
