The Tampa Bay Rays came up two wins shy of their ultimate goal last year, but the journey has moments we will never forget. Now it’s time for another entertaining season of Major League Baseball to kickoff. Let’s take a look through my very cloudy crystal ball.
American League East
New York Yankees 95-67
Tampa Bay Rays 94-68
Toronto Blue Jays 84-78
Boston Red Sox 81-81
Baltimore Orioles 65-97
This time the New York Yankees don’t get crushed in the head to head (2-8) versus the Tampa Bay Rays last season. The gap between the Yankees and Rays isn’t as big as it looks on paper.
