It was a tough way to finish the series in Toronto<\/a>, but besides the game-losing walkoff grand slam on their way out, the Tampa Bay Rays nonetheless won the series.<\/p>\n

They are now past the quarter mark in the season, far ahead of everyone’s expectations<\/a>. At 28-14, they are returning to their roots as the team others dread to play.<\/p>\n

Lights-out pitching, pesky contact hitting, and superstar presences near the top of the lineup create a tall task for teams when lining up how to figure out this Tampa Bay<\/a> squad. The next team that will try to solve the Rays is their cross-state rivals, the Miami Marlins.<\/p>\n

The Citrus Series is as much a rivalry as two teams in separate leagues with little history can be. The only defining feature is that both teams play in Florida, and it doesn’t go much further than that. Baseball-wise, this series has been lopsided in favor of Tampa Bay. In the 2020s, the Rays have dominated the Marlins with a 23-7 record.<\/p>\n
