Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Tampa Bay:</b> Tyler Glasnow (1-4 3.95 ERA)<br />
<b>Toronto</b>: Aaron Sanchez (3-5 5.22 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
In Glasnow’s last start he was solid only giving up one earned run on just two hits in seven innings, but got no run support in a 3-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians. The Rays have lost three of his last four starts, and in the two starts previous to the last one he gave up seven earned runs in 11 2/3 innings. In six starts for Tampa Bay since coming over in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates Glasnow is 0-2 with an ERA of 3.23.
</p>
<p>
In Glasnow’s six starts for the Rays, he has given up only one earned run in four of them and is still looking for his first win for his new club. Glasnow’s 2nd start for Tampa Bay came against the Blue Jays where he gave up one earned run and only allowed two hits but in a 2-1 Rays loss.
</p>
<p>
In Sanchez's last start he was not sharp giving up five earned runs on eight hits in four 1/3 innings, but the lineup bailed him out in a 6-5 win over the Miami Marlins. The Blue Jays have won five of his last six starts including his previous two where he gave up 11 earned runs in eight 1/3 innings and was backed by 14 runs of support. Sanchez’s lone start of the season against the Rays came May 5th in Tampa Bay where he gave up two earned runs on five hits in three 2/3 innings in a 5-3 Toronto loss.
</p>
<p>
While Sanchez was not sharp in his only start against the Rays this season in 14 career appearances, including six starts, facing them, he has a solid ERA of only 1.58. The Blue Jays have lost 10 of his last 13 starts against a team with a winning record.

Tampa Bay at Toronto MLB Prediction 09/05/2018
The Rays are trying to stay in the playoff race winning five of their last six games. Their pitching has been great in the two games of this series only giving up one run. Glasnow has pitched pretty well since coming to Tampa Bay, but he has not received much run support in his six starts for them. He will have another good outing in this game and for a change get some help from the lineup. The Rays have totaled 11 runs in the first two games of this series, and their lineup will put up some runs facing Sanchez, who has given up 11 earned runs in his last two starts. Tampa Bay will win this game in a low scoring affair and complete the series sweep keeping their faint playoff hopes alive.
