Coming into this 2016 season the consensus was that the American League would be one of parity with just about every team duking it out for one of the wild cards, if not the division. There was always going to be some separation with cream rising and shit sinking, but as we enter the second half of the season each of those parties now have names. The Tampa Bay Rays are currently mired in a 3-18 stretch that has removed all doubt about where they lie within the strata. They’re not at the bottom, but they’re damn near it, which brings us to the next phase of this season.
