The Tampa Bay Rays continue to play perfectly fine, average baseball, as they have for most of the last two weeks going 6-7 over their last 13 after going 21-4 in a run that all but secured their playoff spot.
The Rays could clinch a playoff spot today with two wins and a loss by the Seattle Mariners or with one win and losses by both the Mariners and the Detroit Tigers. Even if it doesn’t happen today it’s coming at some point in the next 11 days.
The magic number to win the American League East is currently at eight.
