Peter Abraham: "AL East: Blue Jays. This division will be a rock fight, with four teams capable of winning."
Julian McWilliams: "AL East: Rays. Everyone seems to have hopped on the Blue Jays hype train, but the Rays remain one of the most consistent teams in baseball and thrive during the regular season."
