The Tampa Bay Rays are in a quandry with their starting rotation. Do they slow down to allow their starters to catch up, or do they press toward the playoffs? Increasingly, that seems to be the choice for the Rays, who grew weary of waiting for Matt Moore earlier and now might face a similar decision with Drew Smyly, who doesn’t appear to be what they were when they were injured.
