The Edge
LEAN Rays ML — Martinez's pitching edge, Tampa's superior offense and home dominance point toward the home side, but Toronto's recent ATS heat and Tampa's cold last-5 ATS stretch keep this below PICK threshold
Key Factors
Nick Martinez is 12-3 with a 2.74 ERA vs Soriano's 9-6 and 3.16 ERA — a 0.42 ERA edge in Tampa's favor at a pitcher-friendly dome (run factor 0.96)
Tampa Bay's team OPS is .740 vs Toronto's .678 — a 62-point gap — and TB has scored 566 runs vs TOR's 492 on the season
Rays are 42-21 at home (.667) vs Blue Jays' 28-32 on the road (.467) — a 20-game home/road split differential
Tampa Bay holds a +9% ATS win rate advantage overall (70-54, .565 vs 60-66, .476) and a +1.0 run differential edge on the season
