74-88
 
Can the Devil Rays really do that?  Even if they were to sign Barry Bonds?
 
Right now the Under 73.5 at The Greek is +130
 
Seems to good to be true

I would go under or nothing. They might be improving, but having to play in a division against the Yankees, Red Sox and Jays will be too much for them.

i think they can win 74 games.  pitching will be improved with addition of garza ... so kazmir, shields, garza is a pretty solid 123 probably 2nd in the div behind boston.

I love the Rays over. Might be my favorite over of the season. They have improved their defense a half a run a game already with their offseason moves. The acquisition of Bartlett at SS may seem minor but will do wonders for their ERA and Garza is a quality third starter. Longoria is the best prospect in the AL and should start at 3B moving Iwamura to 2B and with Crawford, Pena, Upton and hopefully a healthy Baldelli they can produce runs. Kazmir-Shields is easily one of the top five 1-2 punches in baseball and Garza could be nearly as good. Wheeler and Percival should improve their bullpen.

Big question is : Have they done anything to improve that atrocious bullpen?

I could see this going either way. I wouldn't touch it.

I think they are improved, but just based on the fact that they havent won that many games in the history of the franchise, I would take the under.

I find it amazing to look back on people's predictions that are completely off. I mean the ones that are a full 180 of what the team really did.

What's cool is the fact that with the running bets at places like Matchbook you can always come back and hedge or look for a better price later as time progresses. I really like this subforum, futures provide a lot of investment opportunities.

Love this post.  I do think the Devil Rays are a tad deeper this year, however so are the Yanks and Sox.  I have no hope for the sad O's until Darth Angelos sells them.  Bottom line is how they fared last year against these (yank/redsox) two teams.  A respectable 14W & 15L vs. Red Sox and a poor 7 W & 12 L vs. Yanks.  I think they fair worst this year so I would lean under, but its super close.   Good news for the Rays, they don't have to see Moose anymore.
