After a promising start, the Tampa Bay Rays are turning into the same disappointing team they had in 2016. Currently with a record of 12-14 heading into yesterday’s action, they are only above the struggling Toronto Blue Jays in the American League East. Yes, the same Toronto team that just won the weekend series against the Rays.
There have been a number of Rays games this season that have been lost because of minor mistakes and that all comes down to fundamentals. Once things are cleaned up they should be able to turn things around and also with players such as Jake Odorizzi and Colby Rasmus coming back into the lineup this week they will start to have a stronger roster.
