The Tampa Bay Rays returned from a less-than-ideal road trip, where they failed to pick up any wins, to a much needed off-day yesterday. Slumps happen, but they are going to be greatly magnified in a shortened 60 game season.
With 16 playoff teams this year, the Rays are still in a reasonably good spot since they likely don’t even need to go 30-30 to make the playoffs, but the Rays are aiming for more than that and need to get back on track. Hopefully a return to the friendly confines of Tropicana Field is what the team needs.
