The Rays are in first place in the standings and on the AL market with a 27% price.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9x\">The Rays took over the top spot on the market ahead of the New York Yankees in the most recent price update. The Yankees trail at 25% while Tampa Bay\u2019s price jumped 3% and took the lead.

At the plate, the Rays lead the MLB with a .260 average, 1,252 total hits (3rd), and 647 total runs (11th). They also sit top-10 in OPS (.731), top-5 in OBP (.328), and top-15 in SLG (.403). Leading the way at bat are Chandler Simpson and Yandy Diaz, who each have top-five averages. Junior Caminero has 38 home runs, tied for third in the league.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"am\">On the mound, this is a top-10 team with a 3.82 ERA for 1,112 hits (5th), a .232 OBA (5th), and 1.15 WHIP (1st). Both Nick Martinez (14-4) and Drew Rasmussen (14-5) are two of the top pitchers in the league with top-15 ERA numbers. Rasmussen sits top-30 with 156 strikeouts, and third with a 0.91 WHIP.<\/p>\n<p>The road ahead<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aw\">With 18 games left in the regular season, the Rays hold a four-game lead over the New York Yankees for first place in the American League. They control their own destiny to the top seed in the AL playoffs and a first-round bye.
