Tampa Bay Rays MLB Betting Odds
Fans and gamblers are beginning to see the Tampa Bay Rays spend more money. They’re locking up players, relievers specifically, in their complicated process of trying to win without overspending. It would be fantastic to see them make an expensive move. That could mean adding a superstar player paired with a bad contract. There must be some sign that they won’t always have to outsmart everyone else.
Although they are consistently at the bottom of the payroll rankings, the Tampa Bay Rays have made the playoffs for the past four seasons. And in 2020, Tampa Bay won its second American League pennant before losing the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tampa Bay won the 2020 and 2021 American League East division titles. They beat out the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox to win the division. Boston and New York were top-5 payroll clubs. Tampa Bay’s success comes from analytics. They rate players with similar formulas used on Wall Street for stocks. And it works!

Odds to Win World Series: +1200 (April 18, 2023)
The rapid turnover of the roster continues, with only nine players from the Rays' 2020 World Series team remaining on the 40-man roster.
For the Rays to give Zach Eflin a three-year, $40 million deal a week before winter meetings even began was shocking. They've done very little else, but the Rays have a strong starting rotation now. Assuming that Tyler Glasnow and Shane Baz are healthy after missing most of last season. Between those two, Eflin, breakout ace Shane McClanahan, Drew Rasmussen, and Jeffrey Springs, Tampa Bay has a formidable rotation.
However, the Rays' pitching was already good. Tampa Bay needed to improve a lineup that ranked 21st in the majors for runs scored in 2022. Yet little was accomplished on that front.
