Tampa Bay Rays 8 to 1 to Win 2010 World Series

The Rays have the best winning percentage in baseball so far this season.

The New York Yankees have played outstanding baseball so far this post-season as they have a .704 winning percentage through 27 games. However despite all of their success, they are not even the leaders of their division as the Tampa Bay Rays are 21-7 on the year so far.

One thing that is very head turning with Tampa Bay is that they are 12-1 on the road so far this year. Most teams play worse on the road when compared to their home record, but the Rays have been dominant so far although one seriously has to question if they can keep that kind of road winning percentage up for much longer.

So far the best offensive player for Tampa Bay has been third basemen Evan Langoria whose OPS is 1.050. Langoria has an impressive 7 home runs on the year and his batting average at this point is .356.

On the mound 26 year old Matt Garza has been the Ray best pitcher.

Garza appears to be on track for a career year as he is already 5-1 with a WHIP of only 1.070. His best season so far was in 2008, when the Rays made the World Series, when he went 11-9 during the regular season.
