After sweeping the Baltimore Orioles on opening weekend, the Rays surprisingly slipped against the Oakland Athletics, losing three of four home games this week. Thursday’s final featured the Rays on the wrong side of an authentic Little League home run. Despite the loss, the Rays remain a go-to team, if only for Wander Franco. Despite being 0-9 in his last two games, the 21-year-old star has a solid slash of 0.379/0.387/0.552.

The White Sox lost their last game on Thursday, but they started this season with series wins over the Tigers and Mariners. Chicago has a stacked lineup, but Luis Robert really stood out early on. He homered Tuesday and Wednesday and entered Thursday with four stolen bases, tied for the most in the Majors.
