The Braves await their biggest test of the season as they travel to Tampa to take on the Rays beginning on Friday. Tampa (57-32) holds the best record in the American League and have had a stranglehold on the AL East since the day one of the season. According to Dukes & Bell, the key to beating the Rays is to just be themselves and have fun.
“Every night I sit down with popcorn and a brew and I’m just watching fun. I am not worried or rarely overexcited that we’re not going to pull it out,” Carl Dukes explained.
The Braves will enter the series 58-28 and coming off another series victory vs another AL team in the Cleveland Guardians. Going 9-1 in their last ten games, the last series the Braves dropped was to the lowly Oakland A’s.
