The Tampa Bay Rays have not officially been eliminated from the playoff picture, which means they are still in the hunt for postseason glory. However, with the calendar flipping to September, time is quickly evaporating as the Rays look to make a final push.
The Rays have consistently played .500 ball this year. The furthest they have fallen under .500 is five games and the high water mark is three games over. Heading into play on Wednesday, the Rays are 68-70. However, despite this, the Rays still have an outside shot at the postseason as the teams they are chasing are dealing various struggles.
