The Tampa Bay Rays, with their respectable 9-7 record and a team average that's actually respectable (.266), mosey into Rate Field at 2:10 p.m. ET for a Thursday matinee that MLB.TV will broadcast to anyone who enjoys the agony of watching daytime baseball. The Chicago White Sox, sitting at 6-11, counter with a batting average that looks like it was typed by a sleepy intern (.191/.280/.307) and an ERA that's essentially a polite way of saying "free hits for everyone" (4.84). You can expect the stands to be about as lively as a calculus lecture.
Left-handed pitchers Steven Matz (3-0, 3.94) and Anthony Kay (1-0, 2.45) - both rocking the number 42, because who needs individuality, anyway? - will try to outdo each other in a game that promises to be a real nail-biter (said no one ever). The Rays' bullpen is running on fumes with Ty Johnson and Garrett Cleavinger on the IL, but let's be real, it's still better than the White Sox's overflowing M*A*S*H unit.
