Tampa Bay vs Baltimore Stats
Tampa Bay Rays
Despite their recent resurgence, the Tampa Bay Rays still face an uphill battle in the American League Wild Card race due to their struggling offense and increased competition in the AL East. Their lineup has lost star power and they currently rank 28th in the league in runs scored. However, their pitching staff has performed well, with a team ERA of 3.95. Right-hander Shane Baz has impressed with two strong starts in a row, but the team will need more offensive production to make a postseason push. The Rays are currently ranked 21st in power rankings and are sitting in fourth place in the division with a record of 69-71.
Baltimore Orioles Analysis

They currently rank third in baseball in runs scored with an impressive 707 and have a team ERA of 3.93, ranking them 11th overall. Despite some recent struggles from pitcher Dean Kremer, the team's depth of talent suggests they will be a threat not only in 2024 but in the future as well.

The Orioles have a power ranking of 11 and have showcased strong offense, averaging 5.01 runs per game. Despite a 2-1 record in their last three matchups against Tampa Bay, the Orioles have an overall record of 81-60.
