The Tampa Bay Rays are on the west coast for a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
So that they did not need to travel far to reach Dodger Stadium, they were in Anaheim this past weekend. Before Anaheim, the Rays have been at Arlington to get a three-game series against the Rangers.
Here is the third and final stop of their road trip. They come back home to play the Yankees and Red Sox, so even though they’ll be back home, it is not like they have some car wins. To wrap up the season, the Rays would be in Toronto to confront a Blue Jays team who can be sneaky.
It is an important few months to the Rays. They did their work from the Angels to go into the week with a 1.5-game guide over the Indians. The Rays were successful against the Rangers, together with declines in two out of three matches. I would say that this is a simple stretch for the Rays.
Their only home games are from Yankees and the Red Sox. The Red Sox will probably be playing for nothing whatsoever and are not going to the postseason. That is not to say the Red Sox can’t be a team and overcome the Rays. They are more than capable of enjoying with a series that is good. Whether they care to are the matter.
The Dodgers would be the first team. They will be playing since the winners of the NL West in October. There’s still a small company to be deal with to the Dodgers, though. Even the Dodgers can clinch homefield advantage throughout the postseason, such as the World Series.
Therefore it’s not out of the question that they catch the Dodgers the Braves are still hanging around from the National League. Not easy but not hopeless. Their worries going forward would be Yankees and the Astros to get homefield at the World Series. Head below to our free Rays vs. Dodgers select.

The Rays are currently looking to keep his composure to the bump against the Dodgers tonight. He has not looked anything like the Cy Young winner from last season. It was only last year that he won the award for best pitcher, although it feels like an eternity past that Snell won the Cy Young.
Awards don’t matter much. What is important is currently sustaining that victory over many seasons. Like say Kershaw or Scherzer, consistency is the most important. Snell has gone from a 1.89 ERA into a 4.28 ERA this year. That was his third time in the majors, so it was tough to say if this effort was for real.
In any case, Snell could be better than what we’ve seen this year. He has been exhibiting signs of putting it though. Snell has posted an ERA of 1.12 and 1.06 WHIP. A disclaimer is with that attempt, although that looks fantastic. He’s performed well in your home in 2019.
The Trop has never been the problem for Snell, where he has posted an ERA of 2.82 and 1.05 WHIP. All would be well for Snell if this were his numbers. That’s not the situation, however, since Snell has fought on the road with a 5.98 ERA along with 1.48 WHIP. Despite his success most of those starts have come at home.
Note that Snell has enabled 2 or runs . However, keep in mind that three of these games have been at home. Mind you, this one trip was against the Yankees on the road. I’m going to stay with the bigger sample size and not get tricked by one start by Snell in another ballpark. Leading up to that match, Snell had allowed 13 earned runs in 3.2 innings across two outings.
Ross Stripling was in his career on fire contrary to the Rays. The Rays are hitting just .182 without the runs scored against Stripling. Stripling was sharp with a 2.45 ERA and also 0.73 WHIP in his past three contests. The Rays need this game longer, but that does not always equate into a success.
