Rays are terrible


I wouldn't predict the Rays to make the playoffs, but I think they may be a touch underrated. I like their staff and they were the most unlucky team in baseball last year. By raw inputs they were an average team (they had pretty much the same wOBA differential as the Rangers), but sequencing killed them.

bad teams are generally unlucky. They have 3, maybe 4 teams in their division that will finish in the top half of the league in runs scored. With the lineup they have the have a very small margin for error.

I think they will pitch but you are asking for Miller to produce another career year and Longo to hit the fountain of youth again. They traded a key cog in Forsythe as well, and lost Steve Pearce(within the division) who gave them good ABS last year.
