Sr is  below Ca and to the right of Rb in the Periodic Table (see the attached image).

Reactivity increases from top to bottom of a Group. Sr is below Ca, so it is more reactive than Ca.

Reactivity decreases from left to right in a Period. Sr is to the right of Rb, so it is less reactive than Rb.
