Rays 6, Jays 5: Walkoffs are now worth 2.7

The Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays met in the final game of their 2020 MLB season-opening series, with 2018 AL Cy Young winner Blake Snell facing off with 25-year-old Thomas Hatch, making his MLB debut for Toronto.
Given that Hatch had never pitched a single inning above Double-A before Sunday’s game, DRB’s Mr. Lizzie knew instantly the Rays wouldn’t get a single hit off him. And she was right!
