Command Analysis
The Tampa Bay Rays are at 0.600 after 35 games of the regular season. Currently, the team is on the 4th line of the American League standings and has a good chance to catch up with the leaders if they deliver solid results in the home series against the Tigers. Kevin Cash's men had a successful performance against the Toronto Blue Jays last week; the Rays won two of the three games (5:2, 1:5, 3:0).
The Detroit Tigers swept the Baltimore Orioles at home last week (4:2, 3:0, 5:1), thus improving their stats. A. J.
