2010 Baseball Predictions - Tampa Bay Devil Rays AL East: The Tampa Bay Devil Rays will try to get back to their 2008 World Series form after apparently suffering from a hangover throughout the 2009 season. The team is well-rounded and is a live underdog to upset the big guns in the A.L East if they can manage to stay healthy and get production out of a suspect bullpen. Below is a quick glance at the Tampa Bay Devil Rays by our MLB Picks team of experts.
Lineup: The Rays offense should be solid if Pat Burrell and Dioner Navarro can find their strokes after disappointing performances at the plate in 2009. Players like Evan Longoria, Carlos Pena and Ben Zobrist are excellent players that can smoke pitchers and the team speed gives defenses headaches. The 2010 Tampa Bay Devil Rays AL East MLB Betting Odds to win the A.L Pennant is Tampa +1000.
Pitching: The Rays are loaded with talent in the starting rotation but they are still green. If the young guys can perform up to their potential they will be scary though. The bullpen was instantly upgraded with the signing of closer Rafael Soriano but overall is mediocre.
Coach/Bench: Joe Maddon knows how to play his chess pieces like a true master and he has the confidence of team behind him. The bench is versatile and speedy with an invaluable player in Willy Aybar.
