 Devil Rays Now Have Better Odds To Win The AL East Than Yankees
A lot of people out there aren't really taking the Tampa Bay Devil Rays all that seriously. Sure they're a great story right now because they're in first place in the AL East and they own the second best record in baseball. But it can't possibly last. Not so fast my friend.
