## Resource

Tampa Bay Rays, atop the AL East with a scorching 21-9 home record, aim to break a three-game skid against the struggling Boston Red Sox, who sit at 27-36 but boast better road play and a solid offense led by Willson Contreras. Yandy Diaz leads the Rays’ attack, while Contreras and Ceddanne Rafaela ignite Boston’s lineup. Recent form shows the Rays stumbling (3-7 in last 10), while the Red Sox split evenly (5-5) and outscore opponents. Both teams are missing key pieces — Kimbrel, Deluca for Tampa; Story, Casas, and a day-to-day Contreras for Boston — making this matchup a battle of resilience and roster depth.
