Tampa Bay Rays
As of now, the Tampa Bay team has struggled to establish a solid winning record through the first two months of the season. Their offense has been particularly disappointing, ranking 26th in runs per game and among the teams scoring fewer than four runs per contest. Player Randy Arozarena has been notably struggling. The team also ranks low in batting average, OBP, and slugging percentage. On the mound, the Rays have faced challenges with their bullpen ranking last in WAR and their rotation having hit or miss performances. However, Saturday's starter, Taj Bradley, has shown promise in his first few starts. The team will need to improve both offensively and defensively to turn their season around.
