With exactly 11 games remaining on both teams’ schedules, the Dodgers welcome the Rays to Chavez Ravine for a quick, interleague set beginning on Tuesday.
The two-game series has playoff implications for both clubs.
The Rays are currently in the thick of the American League Wild Card race. They trail Oakland by just one full game for the top spot while leading the Indians by 1-1/2 games for the second spot.
As far as must-win games go, it’s probably safe to say that Tampa Bay has a lot more to play for than the Dodgers.
