The Tampa Bay Rays have dropped three out of four games against the Toronto Blue Jays. They will be looking for some redemption from their ace, Shane McClanahan, who will be making his return to the mound from his short stint on the Injured List. Though he will probably be on a shorter leash than usual, the pitching staff should be revitalized by his presence.

To spice up this Thursday episode, the discussion turns to a single question: Is hosting the wildcard the best option for the Rays? Is it easier to be the third wildcard and face the winner of the AL Central, a weaker opponent on paper?

Evan Closky, WTSP's Sports Director joins the show to chat about this and much more!
