Monday night’s game for the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field is important for more than one reason.
First, the Rays will be hosting the Toronto Blue Jays, who beat the Rays two out of three games in Toronto last week. The Blue Jays have been one of the hottest teams during the past several week. The Jays have gone 7-3 in their last 10 games, while the Rays are 4-6.
Nonetheless, the Rays have also all but clinched the AL East title, while Toronto trails the Rays by 8.5 games and is battling the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees for a wild card spot.
