Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays have had a mediocre season so far, playing .500 baseball and sitting 10.5 games behind the first-place Orioles in the A.L. East. They are also 5.0 games out of the final wild card spot. With key players out due to injuries and a struggling bullpen, the odds are against them making a postseason run. Lead-off man Yandy Diaz is also on the restricted list. After a recent loss to the Yankees, the team's offense struggled and starting pitcher TBD is currently uncertain. Their power ranking is 19, with a 27th ranked offense and 21st ranked defense.
