It didn't take long for the Tampa Bay Rays to start making headlines in 2023, with their 13-game winning streak to start the season tying the MLB record and quickly establishing them as the team to beat.
As of May 10, the Rays have the best record in MLB at 29-8 (.784) and World Series odds of +700. They've built a big lead in the notoriously competitive AL East, with their closest rival, the Baltimore Orioles, 5.5 games back.'
So is it too early to ask if this is the best team in franchise history?
