Rays on Fire, Mets in Slump | New York Mets News

The Tampa Bay Rays are on a hot streak, riding four straight wins into their series against the struggling New York Mets, including a thrilling extra-innings victory over the Padres highlighted by five stolen bases and strong pitching from Drew Rasmussen. Meanwhile, the Mets are in a slump, losing four of five and falling well below .500, despite a decent start from Zac Thornton in their most recent loss. Tampa Bay’s recent dominance over New York — including a 9-0 win back in June — adds fuel to their momentum as they host the Mets at Tropicana Field. With Ian Seymour set to face Robert Stock, the betting odds favor the Rays, making this matchup a must-watch as the Mets look to snap their losing streak or the Rays aim to extend their dominance.
