This win continues to demonstrate why Tampa Bay is such a formidable team despite not having the firepower of some of their divisional rivals. It raises the question: Can the Rays continue to ride their elite bullpen and small-ball strategy deep into October, or will their inconsistent offense catch up to them in the postseason? This victory over a Toronto team struggling for relevance could either be a sign of things to come or merely a brief respite in what’s been an up-and-down stretch for the Rays.
What do you think—can this low-scoring formula work in a high-stakes playoff environment, or do the Rays need to find more offensive production to compete with baseball’s elite?
