The Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians will play on Friday at Progressive Field. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. ET.
Tampa Bay (82-52 SU and 69-65 RL) is starting right-hander Tyler Glasnow. The 30-year-old is 7-4 with a 3.12 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in 15 outings this year.
Cleveland (64-70 SU and 68-66 RL) is countering with righty Cal Quantrill. The 28-year-old is 2-6 with a 6.45 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP in his 13 starts.
The Rays are -170 moneyline favorites and the game total is 7.5 runs.
Tampa Bay has won eight of its last ten overall, including series wins over the Rockies, Yankees, and Marlins. It's still hot on the heels of Baltimore in the AL East division standings but will it catch the O's?
The Rays score 5.36 runs per game (4th) and hit .260 (5th) with a .779 OPS (4th). They've launched 194 home runs (4th) and stolen 141 bases (2nd) in 2023. The TB pitching staff has compiled a 3.83 ERA (4th) and a 1.18 WHIP (2nd) with 44 quality starts (17th).

Glasnow will take the hill for the visitors on Friday. In his last start, the veteran right-hander gave up one hit and zero runs in a six-inning win over the Yankees. It was a significant bounce-back outing following a poor showing versus the Angels (seven runs and eight hits in six innings). He has allowed one or no runs in four of his last five starts.
