Under in 4/5 as a Ray - seemingly getting the innings management treatment from Tampa. He gets Boston today - they’re running a 113 wRC+ and .800 OPS over the L30 days vs righties (both top 7), and are also top 7 in wRC versus Civale’s two top pitches, the cutter and curveball. Have faced him this season, so some familiarity there (5.2 IP in that start). TBR stretched their rotation back to 5 actual starters this turn through, so the bullpen is a bit fresher.

The Red Sox are just 30-52 (.366) after a loss as underdogs since last season -- tied for 3rd lowest in MLB; League Avg: .405.

Rafael Devers has an OPS of .865 since last season -- 11th best in MLB-- 90th Percentile. Zack Littell has allowed an OPS of .788 (459 PAs) since last season -- ninth worst among qualified RPs-- fifth Percentile.

Right-handed hitters have a groundball rate of 59% (182/306) against Brayan Bello since last season -- tied for 2nd highest in MLB among starting pitchers with at least 119 total IP; League Avg: 43% -- 99th Percentile.

Brayan Bello has a strike rate of just 52% (209/399) on sliders this season -- 3rd lowest in MLB among starting pitchers with at least 54 total IP; League Avg: 64% -- second Percentile.
