Summary
The Tampa Bay Rays are on fire, hitting at a league-leading pace and riding a 49% win streak into this matchup against struggling right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver, whose ERA sits at 7.13 and who’s been torched by non-playoff teams. Freddy Peralta counters with quiet efficiency, posting a 3.77 ERA in pitcher-friendly parks and mixing fastballs and changeups that have plagued the Braves’ bats lately. With the Braves’ bullpen fresh after minimal usage yesterday, Smith-Shawver may not last long — giving the Rays a chance to exploit his early struggles. And don’t sleep on Junior Caminero, a righty-mashing slugger who already has a history against Smith-Shawver and could capitalize on the Braves’ home run-prone bullpen for a big one.
