The 13-15 Tampa Bay Rays are on the verge of being swept by the 5-22 Chicago White Sox today in an early one on the south side. But not so fast. The Rays are definitely in a slump but that happens in baseball and doesn’t last forever. Today’s expected starters will be Zack Littell for the Rays, who is 1-1 with a 3.33 ERA, and Erick Fedde for the Sox, who is 1-0 with a 2.73 ERA. The Rays are the better team on the field today by far. They have the edge in runs scored, batting average, hits, homers and team ERA. If Tampa Bay gets swept today, the blame falls on management and maybe something needs to change.
