If the regular season were to end today, the Tampa Bay Rays would be looking to a playoff series versus the winner of an American League Wild Card game between the Boston Red Sox and either the Toronto Blue Jays or New York Yankees.
Who should Rays fans root for in the Wild Card battle?
All mentioned teams are from the AL East and have waged a season-long battle for dominance. Although sitting on top, the Rays are limping through September.
They are 5-5 in their last 10 games, while the Red Sox are 8-2, the Yankees 7-3 and the Blue Jays 5-5.
