Prediction
Neither team is playing particularly well right now, but I like Littell in this matchup over Martinez. Littell has been pretty consistent all season and hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in six straight starts. He also has good career numbers against Cincinnati, including seven shutout innings last season. Martinez has three really bad outings over his last six and I think the Rays can get to him.
Pick: Rays -110
