Baseball is a streaky game. At times it feels like a team is unbeatable and cannot stop scoring, and other times it feels like someone put holes in everyone’s bats.
The Rays have been no strangers to this phenomenon, as it was only last season they got out to one of the hottest starts in the history of baseball by going 13-0 in the first 13 games of the season and reaching a mark of 35-15 at the 50 game mark of the season.
This hot streak would only last so long though, as the Rays would eventually get swept in October in the AL Wild Card Series by the eventual champion Texas Rangers, not scoring a single run in the series.
