Is Tampa Bay really this good?

[Regul8er]

I took the Yankees to win the AL East, and figured I was worrying about the Red Sox, and that was it.

If the first two weeks are any indication, Tampa has a chance to run away with this. Or is this just an overreaction, and Tampa will lose 15 of the next 20, and hover around .500? I noticed even this morning, Tampa was still +600 to the AL East, so obviously bookmakers think Tampa will flame out and not be a threat.

FOotnote, I'm a lifetime Jays fan and despise the Yankees, but felt they should have been closer to -150, not -115.

Going back to last August Tampa has best record in baseball I believe, or close.

Kills me cards gave them tommy Pham. Love that dude.

So this is a short sample size of about 50 games or so.

Can Tampa really hold up 162 games, with arguably only 2 good starters? Glasnow is getting there, but I would have to think this team will begin unraveling at some point. Im not gonna lie, this does have me a little concerned.....it's great to see the Bo Sox lose day after day, but Tampa is about to add a have their second 4 game win streak in under 2 weeks.

Plus, I'm confident they wont dip into the trade market, as they never really have before mid season to improve the roster.

Tampa has only given up 25 games in now their 13th game. I mean, that's absolutely ridiculous.

I feel like Tampa has led in 95% of the innings theyve played this year. These guys are usually ahead after 2 batters, and never give it up.

To be fair, they are 10-3, but have sliced up some bottom feeders. SF CWS and Rox .
Those three teams will all be well below .500 by end of year.

With that said I’m on Rox tonight at +128.
Last night was tough to watch 1-0. The strike zone was HUGE, as noted by broadcasters.
