Last year the Tampa Bay Rays won the AL east over the Yankees by 1 game. This is how the season played out in 2010.
Rays 96-66 .593 -
Yankees 95-67 .586 1
Red Sox 86-73 .549 7
Blue Jays 85-77 .525 11
Orioles 66-96 .407 30
With the Rays losing Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, and others, I see the Rays struggleing this year. The Red Sox are the favored team to win the division with Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and their new sluggers, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez. If the Red Sox are not plagued with injury again as they were last year they will be hard to beat. I see the Yankees finishing in 2nd. if they have a good rotation and their bats come alive again they could posibly beat the Red Sox and win the division. Here is my pre-season prediction.
Boston 98-64
New York 95-67
Tampa 87-72
Baltimore 85-77
Toranto 84-78
Red Sox were 89-73 thank you very much, and I predict:
