The Tampa Bay Rays (9-7) got off on the right foot last night for their 6-game road trip. They defeated the Chicago White Sox (6-11) in a game they never trailed in. After putting up 3 runs in the 1st inning, the Rays added a run in the 3rd before the White Sox tried to storm back and cut the lead to 4-3. After back-to-back innings where the Rays added 2 insurance runs each, it was smooth sailing despite the late 2 runs from the White Sox in the bottom of the 9th.
The loss was the 6th in the last 8 games for the White Sox and their 3rd in their last 4 games. Things have been ugly to start the year for Chicago. Offensively, they rank 30th in the league in both batting average and on-base percentage. If that was not bad enough, their combined team ERA is 4.84, which is 27th in the league. It seems like they can find a way to lose a game, whether it be low or high scoring at this point.
The Rays, they are currently ranking in the top 10 of most offensive categories. Their pitching has been suspect, but with the way they have been producing runs, they have been able to make up for the lack of pitching success. The win last night extended the Rays current win streak to 4 games.
Tampa has now won 7 of their last 9 games and facing a White Sox team that has been one of the worst teams to this point. It will take a lot of things to go right for Chicago to have a shot in this one.

Our Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Jesse Scholtens will pitch for Tampa tonight. While he has had limited opportunities in his short career, he is coming off a nice 4.2 innings of scoreless work against the Cubs in his lone start of the season. He should be able to get at this weak White Sox lineup to give the Rays another quality start against another Chicago team. We like the Rays to extend their win streak here tonight.
Our prediction for Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays: Tampa Bay to win
