The Tampa Bay Rays have accelerated over the last month as they look to overtake the New York Yankees in the American League East. Once 15.5 games back the Rays are now 4.5 games back and more importantly they only trail the Yankees by 3 games in the loss column. It just so happens that the Rays and Yankees play 3 games this weekend. If they secure the sweep they would be tied in the loss column and hold the head to head tiebreaker. The Rays need to take it one day at the time, but if they pull it off they will control their destiny as they head to the last leg of the season.
