The last time the Orioles headed into a series with the Rays, the O’s brought a 2-7 record into that series along with hopes of getting things turned back around a little bit. Instead of getting things turned around, they got swept by the Rays for the first three losses in what turned into a 14-game losing streak. In all, the O’s have gone 5-16 since the last Rays series began.
The Rays are a team that is headed in the exact opposite direction. They are 16-5 since the start of the previous series between these two teams.
