Astros' Dusty Baker on Rays' hot start: 'I can't give them the championship yet'
Tampa Bay Rays' Luke Raley celebrates in the dugout after his two-run home run off Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito during the second inning of a baseball game Sunday, April 23, 2023, in St. Petersburg, Fla. ATLANTA — The Astros are in the middle of a 12-game stretch against the Blue Jays, Braves, Rays and Phillies — all playoff teams from last season. None will be tougher than what's waiting in Tampa when that three-game series opens Monday night at Tropicana Field.
Not only do the 19-3 Rays have the best record in baseball by a large margin, but they've yet to lose a home game, going a perfect 13-0 so far. Still, it's only April and a suddenly hot Astros team is heading to townThe Rays' dominance at home can't be credited to a rowdy fan base. The Rays rank 25th in attendance, averaging less than 18,000 fans per game, but it's still a tough place to play.
with the Yankees being the next closest team with 30. They have eight guys in their lineup who have at least four homers. The Astros, who have hit 22 homers as a team, only have two players with at least four dingers — Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker .
