ST. PETERSBURG — It's pretty safe to say that Rays RHP Jake Odorizzi takes the mound tonight having pitched better than his numbers.
Especially the number under W — 0 — as he doesn't have a win despite allowing two runs or fewer in five of his seven starts and posting a 3.10 ERA that ranks in the American League's top 20.
Through a combination of circumstances, Odorizzi is winless through seven starts, one shy of RHP Jason Hammel's 2007 team mark to begin a season, and he has received five straight no-decisions (after his one loss), matching a record he already shared with RHP Dave Eiland.
