Game Preview
It’s probably not what many would have expected a month ago looking at the series between the Tampa Bay Rays and visiting Pittsburgh Pirates that gets under way Tuesday. But here it is: This is a clash between the two best teams in baseball.
Pittsburgh, with the second-best record in the majors behind the Rays, is easily the bigger surprise in that conversation. The Pirates are coming off back-to-back, 100-loss seasons and are supposed to be rebuilding.
Tampa Bay was a wild-card team last year and is chasing its sixth straight winning season and fifth straight playoff appearance.
