AL East
The Yankees are the rightful heavy favorites, but I’d consider both the Rays and Jays at +350. I’m a believer in the Jays’ offense (like everyone), and Tampa Bay just finished with the second-most wins in MLB during last year’s shortened season. The Rays obviously lost some important players (Blake Snell, Charlie Morton, etc.) but countered with sneaky cheap additions (Chris Archer, Rich Hill, Luis Patino) to go along with a legit Cy Young contender in Tyler Glasnow and a loaded bullpen (and top prospect Wander Franco waiting in the wings).
