Tampa Rays +125 to win the AL East (Fanatics) $400 to win $500
Yankees are a mess. Judge out til atleast August. Cole looks old because he is old. Schlitter is probably on some kind of innings limit. He only had 73 ip last year and he's on pace for 34 starts and 196 ip. That wouldn't end well. He got hit his last 2 games. Warren & Weathers have been getting hit as well and NY is only 10-9 combined in games started by Rodon & Fried
Biggest thing though is the bats. Tampa is 2nd in MLB in average and NY is 24th. Rice hit .196 in June and he's the best they've got. Goldschmidt has been really good, but he's old and on a 0-16 streak.
Tampa is also 5 games up in the loss column. They're up 4-1 vs NY this year and play them in a big 4 game set starting Monday. They atleast split those and NY is a solid hole
