The Rays will start a three game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, Friday. Tampa Bay has been disappointing of late, dropping four of its last six games to the Yankees and Tigers (respectively) in two ugly, ugly series losses. Yet things in Toronto haven’t been all that peachy for the Jays either — John Gibbons’ ball club has won only one series in the month of August.

Are you confused how a team could drop a series after yielding a total of seven runs? Their .205 series batting average should clear up any residual befuddlement.
