Tampa Bay at Baltimore

The Rays have basically packed it in. Even last year when they were the surprise of baseball and rode the magic all the way to the world series, there was no magic on the road as they finished below .500 This season has been disappointing and the road woes have marked the year as the Rays own a 30-46 mark while taking to the highway. Dropping five of six at home to the Red Sox, then the Tigers took all the spirit and hope from this team and the losing has now reached 12 of 13. The fact is the Rays aren't just having some rough luck, they are getting beaten up as the combined score during the 13 game skid is 75-36 against them or 5.8-2.7 better than three runs a game. Andy Sonnanstine, who led the Rays to over 20 wins a year ago in his starts, has pitched to a startling 7.15 ERA. All O's here and Baltimore gets the call.
