Last season, Happ was 2 - 0 with a 4.50 ERA in 3 starts against the Rays. But overall, the Rays are batting .326 against Happ with 28 hits, a home run and 14 RBIs in 86 at-bats.

Jake Odorizzi took the loss his last time out and that lowered his record to 4 - 8 with a 4.10 ERA. In that outing, Odorizzi surrendered just 2 runs on 6 runs in 6 innings. He walked 2 and struck out 8. Odorizzi should have gotten a victory but his offense couldn't get on the scoreboard. Last season, Odorizzi was 0 - 1 with a save and an ERA of 3.94 in 4 starts and 3 relief appearances.

In 2013, Odorizzi didn't get the decision in his only start against the Blue Jays after allowing 3 runs on 5 hits in 5 innings. Seven of the Blue Jays have faced Odorizzi before and they are batting .250 against the right-hander with 4 hits and 3 RBIs in 16 at-bats.
