Both teams are struggling entering today, as the Rays are on a four-game losing streak while Oakland snapped a five-game losing streak with last night’s win. The problem for Oakland is they have Graveman on the mound today, who has a 5.74 ERA on the season and a 10.54 ERA over his last three starts.
