The beginning of the season couldn’t have gone much worse for the Tampa Bay Rays. Strike that: the Rays could have failed to rally against the Boston Red Sox bullpen on opening day and still be without a win. An eight game losing streak that included five one run losses to the Red Sox, however, is a painful way to start the year.
The Chicago White Sox sit at 3-5 and were just swept by the Detroit Tigers. They have lost five of their last six.
The Matchups:
