R.Grossman u0.5 Hits+125

Grossman, a switch hitter, is only hitting .206 vs righties and .188 in full games started by a righty. Eflin is a really tough matchup for him too – he’s been excellent against lefties this season (.210 batting average allowed). And Grossman is a career .206 hitter at the Trop (13 hits in 63 ABs – 71 PAs). Wouldn’t be shocked if they moved him down the order today as well. Rays top high leverage relievers also skew righty.
