Yes, the season is that close.

If you want solid tickets for opening day, Friday is your day.

Only at Raysbaseball.com, single-game tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. The Rays open the season with a three-game series against the Yankees. Opening day is Sunday, April 2, with a 1:10 p.m. first pitch.

That’s followed by an off day and Tuesday and Wednesday evening games against New York, followed by a four-game series with Toronto before the Rays head to the Bronx for three more.

Maybe, just maybe, the Rays can figure out how to play well at home this season. Maybe.
