Tampa Bay isn’t going to win a lot of high-scoring games. That’s why they have excellent starting pitching. Chris Archer is the ace and last year held Toronto to just one run in five innings in his last start against the Jays on Oct. 3. He faces young Marcus Stroman, a potential ace, who missed most of last season due to injury. When he returned from a torn ACL, he went 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA. In his rookie season in 2014, he went 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA.
