The Rays have been good at the Trop this year. But they’ve been much worse on the road, and they’ve been terrible in one-run games.
In 40 games at home, the Rays have gone 23-17, scoring 4.02 runs per game while allowing just 3.1 per game. Part of that has been Blake Snell, who in 8 home starts has gone 6-1 with an 0.87 ERA.
However, in their 47 road games, the Rays have gone 20-27. They’ve scored just 3.7 runs per game and have given up 4.49 per game. The pitching has been inconsistent at best in road games, and the offense hasn’t shown up in big spots.
