The Rays starters have struggled mightily this season. Around DRaysBay, we are not proponents of the traditional "win" statistic, but two months into the season the team leader in wins is still a reliever (Erasmo Ramirez - 6). That's not a good sign!
I don't have great answers to why the starters are struggling. I believe every starter on this roster has the potential to be the menacing rotation pieces we saw last year or previously in their career, but things aren't working just yet.
Consequently, each of the Rays starters have begun to vary their pitch selection, and some have even found success by going to an extreme.
