Would you have thought coming out of spring training that Chris Archer would be 4-10 with a 4.70 era at this point in the season for the Rays? However, as poor as the starters have been, the overall offensive performance has been just as bad.
The offense has been boom or bust. They are in the top five in baseball in home runs and the top five in striking out. What’s even worse is that the majority of the home runs have been solo blasts and the Rays have left an atrocious number of runners in scoring position.
