Rays Ready to Dethrone Yankees: Will Their Sting Defense Hold?
I think I mentioned this earlier in the year, but one series, at this point, can make you look like you’re a great team, or make you look like you’re struggling. Just a few days ago, the Rays were 8-8, but after back-to-back losses to the Red Sox, they are now 8-10. That looks a lot worse in the early going of the season. The reality is that they are just three games back of the Yankees and could be in first place at the end of this series. It is just a bit strange to thing about all of that early in the season (it also gives me a bit of comfort when looking at my losing baseball betting record for this year). Anyway, the Rays are hitting well and pitching well, so really, the losing record, at this point, shouldn’t be a concern. Taj Bradley takes the bump for them today with a 2-0 record, 3.71 ERA, and a 1.06 WHIP. He has posted a quality start in both home starts this season. Although he has faced Yankees hitters just 19 times, they’re only hitting .105 against him.Â
