The Shocking Truth Behind Crooked Numbers That Could Change Everything on the Scoreboard
The Rays are above .500 again, and don’t look now, but they are in second place in the AL East. For a team that has limited resources, is playing in a new field, can’t seem to fully invest in a team, and always has their roster in flux because of injuries, trades, and statutory rape, the Rays are oddly successful. Tampa Bay is one of the few franchises that I really enjoy following because no matter what happens they at least seem to be competitive. Do I think they may the playoffs? Probably not. However, they can at least be a competitive club this year and maybe make a run at the postseason. Today they send out Shane Baz to the mound. Baz brings a 4-3 record with a 4.94 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. None of those numbers are that impressive. He has been slight better on the road than at home, but he has been significantly better during night games than day games. In three day starts, he has allowed 17 earned runs in 15 innings. In seven night starts, he has allowed 13 earned runs in 39.2 innings. This has been a tough month on him with three of his five starts seeing him allow five or more earned runs. He has pitched well against the Astros though, holding them to a .206 average in fairly limited experience.Â
