DIVISIONAL OUTLOOK: AL East—Odorizzi gets a shot

Tampa Bay Rays

Jake Odorizzi (RHP, TAM) will get the call May 20 to fill in for David Price (LHP, TAM). Odorizzi will be pitching on regular rest, which may have factored into the decision. But Odorizzi has outperformed his chief competitor Chris Archer (RHP, TAM) via slight advantages in Ctl, Dom and Cmd (47/15 K/BB in 44 2/3 IP for Odorizzi vs. 40/19 K/BB in 39 IP for Archer).
