It’s a scheduling quirk that had to make Rays management say “uh-oh” when MLB laid out the 2019 slate. The Rays find themselves in the midst of 34 games in 34 days, and most of their opponents during that stretch will be teams in or contending for first place in their respective divisions. It’s the kind of stretch that can break a team — even a team 11 games over .500 — or define a positive march towards the postseason. Who needs to step to tilt the scales in favor of Tampa Bay?
Which Ray needs to step up during the next six weeks?
