The Rays opened the season with sweeps of the Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals, and entering Saturday they led MLB by a huge margin for most runs scored per game (7.57) while allowing the third fewest (2.57).Their offense has been loud too, cranking 18 home runs over the first seven games while the pitching staff had only allowed 17 earned runs total.That’s what the Red Sox are going to have to deal with when they play the Rays four times in St. Petersburg over the next few days.Boston was always going to have its hands full competing in a loaded AL East this season, but the fact that Tampa Bay appears to have rediscovered its mojo after a so-so 2022 is bad news. Even with fewer games against division rivals and a third Wild Card spot up for gr...
