Game Preview
The Tampa Bay Rays’ potent offense probably isn’t what the Chicago Cubs, generous in allowing runs as of late, want to see.
Even with Marcus Stroman eying a third straight strong start, the Cubs face a daunting task by trying to keep the visiting Rays from handing them a fifth straight defeat on Monday in the opener of a three-game series.
Tampa Bay is a major-league-best 39-16 and leads the majors in several offensive categories, including runs (335), batting average (.273), on-base-plus-slugging percentage (.848) and homers (101). The Rays totaled 38 runs in taking four of their last five following Sunday’s wild 11-10 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
