The Tampa Bay Rays are sneaky good.
Over the past four seasons, the club has advanced to the playoffs each year in a relatively quiet fashion.
This time around, Kevin Cash’s squad may make a bit more noise behind ace pitcher Shane McClanahan as well as budding stars Wander Franco, Brandon Lowe and Randy Arozarena.
Throw hurlers Drew Rasmussen, Jeffrey Springs and Zach Eflin into the mix and you’ve got an exciting team that’s already started this young season 6-0.
And that’s before prized pitcher Tyler Glasnow returns from his injury.
Best of all though, tickets to see the always suprising, always upstart Rays at Saint Petersburg’s Tropicana Field are affordable all season long.
In fact, at the time of publication, we found some seats going for as low as $11 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Not a bad deal especially considering if you go to the ballpark on the right day you may score free socks, sunglasses, reversible bucket hats, Brandon Lowe dawg tags or Wander Franco bats.
Want to head to Tropicana Field to root on your Rays ASAP?
Here’s everything you need to know.
