## Resource

The Tampa Bay Rays are on the brink of history, poised to become the first MLB team to clinch a playoff spot this season with just one win away—thanks to a perfect storm of other teams’ results and their own relentless surge. Once written off as cellar-dwellers, they now lead the AL with an 87-59 record, aiming not just for postseason entry but also for the AL East crown and home-field advantage. With a brutal remaining schedule and a heated rivalry against the Yankees—who are just three games back and reloaded with Judge’s return—the stakes couldn’t be higher. Even without a roaring crowd at Tropicana Field, the Rays have turned their home into a fortress, proving their grit and determination as they chase a dream most thought impossible.
