It’s not been a good stretch for the Tampa Bay Rays over the last three weeks. The team has lost thirteen of twenty games including eleven against division leading teams or teams in the wild card race. They went through a record setting run scoring drought and have wasted numerous quality efforts by their starting pitching. They are now ten games out of first place and playing below .500 baseball.
Despite all of this, I think this is a pretty good Rays’ team that will get better when Matt Andriese and Kevin Kiermaier come back.
