Veteran right-hander Paul Wilson will look to get one back on the Devil Rays tonight when he opens a three game set for the Cincinnati Reds.
The Devil Rays have lost four straight and seven of eight overall while the Reds have dropped three of their last four. This is the first ever meeting between these teams.
Wilson went 15-25 with a 4.65 ERA in three seasons with Tampa Bay including a career-high 193 2/3 innings last season. The Devil Rays didn't offer the former top draft pick a contract at the end of 2002 so the Reds signed him to a $4 million deal over two seasons. While fresh off of a home win over the Yankees, Wilson has a road ERA of 6.84 in five starts this season.
Tampa Bay will counter with 1997 first-round pick Jason Standridge who has been called up from Triple-A Durham. In nine starts for the Bulls the 24 year-old right-hander is 2-3, 4.47 ERA. He made just one appearance for the Devil Rays last season when he gave up seven hits and three runs in just three innings of relief work against the Yankees.
Our numbers point to this one going Over the total.
Recommended Play: Over 10.5
