The Braves must be feeling good after a dominant performance in Miami. Now they're home for a brief two-game series (if, in fact, you call two games a "series") with the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Rays have one of the best pitching staffs in the Majors. Chris Archer and Jake Odorizzi, whom the Braves will face Wednesday, have sustained a pitching staff that is third in the AL in ERA (3.45) and has held opposing hitters to a .222 batting average, the best mark in all of Major League Baseball, all without Alex Cobb who has succumbed to Tommy John surgery.
