    Well they have the pitching. No doubt about that. Appear to have decent chemistry. A seasoned skipper, but they play in the most competitive division in baseball where every single one of those teams have a realistic shot at a world series ring this year.

    BUT and this was a major problem last year.. Can they score any damn runs??????

    I cant tell you how many bets i lost last year on the Rays where they lost 2-0 , 2-1, 3-2 , even a few 1-0 games..!

    this team had a horrible offense last year. what have they done to fix that?

    If the Yanks and Redsox finish bottom 2 in that division, I'll eat my shorts.

    Can Longoria stay healthy for a season?
    Loney lacks pop for a corner infielder.

    I think Matt Moore breaks out this year. I also believed blue jays are obviously much improved, but also a little overhyped (remember last year's marlins?) Not saying toronto will be subpar, but I think expectations should be limited. Orioles have decent pitching but need better arms, maybe Bundy? AL East is competitive but predictable if you can read into it, which you should be able to.

    Yankees r old and injury prone
    Boston just sucks dick
    Jays will still hve no pitchin and bullpen
    Baltimore is an upcoming team ..

    Rays r the team this year in the east

    Dodgers have a better rotation with Kershaw and Greinke on top.
    Tigers have a better rotation with Verlander, Fister, and Max
    Phillies with Halladay, Lee, and Hamels are much better that Tampa
    You named Washington.

    Tampa's rotation is in the Giants and Reds group, next tier down.

    Lol halladay cant stay healthy anymore ... Greinke is a head case especially now in a big market area .. Verlander is the only good pitcher on Detroit .. Max and fister r ok ... Ill take tampa bays pitching all day with price helly and a very upcoming stud in Moore ... Plus cobb aint bad and Neiman aint the worst of the crop out therre

    +350 is definitely great value. They are not a lock by any means, but with their pitching I give them a 50/50 shot to win the East. So at +350, that is value.
