It’s amazing how much can change in just a month.
Just one month ago I asked Rays fans to vote on if the team will make the playoffs and only 38% were confident they could do it.
Now, just four weeks later a 0.5 games back of first place in the AL East, an astonishing 82% now believe in the Tampa Bay Rays chances of post season contention:

Of course, these survey results are also very close to the FanGraphs odds, which placed the Rays at around a 32% chance of the playoffs at the start of June and now have the Rays and Blue Jays at 77%, so the result was not unexpected.
