The Yankees are such gigantic favorites in the American League after adding Gerrit Cole (NYY) that one of the next best teams in the league can be bet with an 18:1 payout. Similarly to the Yankees, the Rays’ rotation starts with an impressive 1-2-3, although the health of Tyler Glasnow (TB) will be extremely important for their success. The Yankees will get Domingo German (NYY) back after an 80-game suspension so there is a bit more depth to their rotation than that of the Rays. However, Brendan McKay (TB), the team’s number two prospect in what is widely considered the best minor league system in baseball, now has plenty of time to recover from shoulder stiffness in his quest to improve as an MLB player in year two.
