The Tampa Bay Rays made it to the postseason last year after clinching the AL East Division title.

Tampa won 100 of their 162 games last season and was way ahead of the Red Sox in second place. Tampa has a few changes to their team and they hope to make it past their opponents once more as they enter the 2022 season.
