Rays Need to Turn it Around
The Rays sit with a 62-43 record overall but they have lost three of their last four of the Games. On Wednesday against the Miami Marlins the offense scored only a run and that led to the six run defeat. Zach Eflin went four innings giving up seven hits and five runs. The Rays are averaging 5.19 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.85 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 4th while the pitching is ranked 1st. After so much success early in the season, they are now in second place in the American League East. Shane McClanahan has been one of the reasons the Rays have found so much success this season and he currently sits with an 11-1 record and an ERA of 2.89.
Can the Astros win the Division?
The Astros sit with a 58-45 record overall, but that is only good enough for second place in the AL West, with the Texas Rangers sitting in 1st place. On Wednesday the pitching really struggled giving up 13 runs and that led to the eight run defeat. Framber Valdez hasn’t been good enough this season and on Wednesday he went 3.2 innings giving up eight hits and six runs. The Astros are averaging 4.69 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.22 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 12th while the pitching is ranked 8th.
