The Tampa Bay Rays look to get back to business after closing out the first half on a run. The Rays won six of their final seven capping off a month of up and down play.
The Rays sit 1.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East. The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees trail by 8.0 games while the Baltimore Orioles sit 26.0 games back.
If the season were to end today the Rays would hold the first wild card. They are 2.0 games ahead of the Oakland Athletics and 5.
