Beating Vegas: The Tampa Bay Rays

Under. I do not get the projection systems picking them first in the division. I may be selling them short, but they're the team I'd bet on finishing last in the division.

I'd have to also say under.  Considering the other teams in the division, I don't see how they finish above .500.   I'll say 77-85

I'm with you 100%. The AL's not going to be littered with teams finishing in the 77-87 win range like FanGraphs projects. One of these teams is going to realize being mediocre isn't going to help in the long run and start tearing down what they have. The Rays are a very good candidate to do just that. 

I can see on paper why everything says that range, seriously, but there's just a lot of faith put in the Rays system from people that are no longer there to get production from guys who haven't really produced yet.

Over.

Because the Rays often surprise, but mainly because everyone else is taking the Under.

I am going over. We forget how good Matt Moore is and he is back. Good top of the rotation with intrigue 3-5. They usually platoon their way to a surprising offense.

Under.  I don't think they can score enough runs to win some games.

Under.  I think it'll be close, but I don't see a bounce back for Longoria and I don't know how they're going to score runs.  The rotation could be great, but I think that's if everything goes right.

Under. Great pitching, but I don't see how they can score enough.
