Scott Kazmir of the Tampa Bay Rays and Adam Eaton of the Baltimore Orioles are both of to disappointing starts, but that actually adds some value to the Under here as both are capable of much better tonight.

Kazmir has some of the best stuff in all of baseball when he is on, but he is prone to control problems, which did him in last start at Minnesota, his second poor outing in three appearances. He did bounce back well with a sparkling effort two starts back though, and he should do the same here.

He did pitch very well vs. Baltimore the last time he faced them, holding the Orioles scoreless on three hits in 5.1 innings in his only start against them last season. He also has the support of a Rays bullpen that owns a nice collective 2.61 ERA in the last 10 games, and ranks ninth in the Major Leagues with a 3.87 pen ERA overall.

As for Eaton, he appeared to turn the corner two starts back when he surrendered only two runs and six hits in 7.1 innings vs. the Chicago White Sox, but he then regressed again in his last starts vs. the Angels. Well, he had a good chance to rebound here, as the Rays could be lethargic after wrapping up a big series with the Boston Red Sox yesterday where the won three out of four games.

Tampa Bay will not be as excited about facing the Orioles, and that could have a direct effect on the total output here.
