AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST DIVISION PREVIEW

With the baseball season beginning, it’s time to take a look at the teams in the AL East and weigh their chances to contend both for the MLB crown and for a division title.  Bodog’s Baseball Futures offer the betting lines used in this article.

The Tampa Bay Rays finished the American League with the best record and that gives them home-field advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs. But because the wild-card team is in their division (Yankees), the Rays do not get to face the wild-card team.  They get the Texas Rangers and left-handed ace Cliff Lee in the opener. It hardly seems fair.

The Rays look to officially bury the Red Sox in the playoff race with the series finale at Fenway Park in front of an ESPN audience.

Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox

Tampa Bay’s impressive 14-5 victory over the Red Sox on Tuesday pushed their lead in the Wild Card race to 7 1/2 games.  Also by winning, the Rays snapped a three-game losing streak while picking up a game on the Yankees, moving them within 1 1/2 games of the American League East leaders.  “Winning beats losing,” said manager Joe Maddon.  The offense was led by outfielder Carl Crawford’s career-high three doubles, as he compiled his Major League-leading eighth four-hit game of the season.  It’s important to note that with yesterday’s win, the club has not tied last year’s win total and the team is 265-197 since the start of the 2008 season.  Tampa Bay is 35-23 against division opponents (+610) and the total is 31-26 O/U in those contests.  The team will be playing its 15th game as a road underdog of +100 to +125, posting a 6-8 record in the previous 14 instances (-140).

The Rays look to keep pace with the Yankees in playing the second game of this three-game set at Tropicana Field.

Toronto Blue Jays at Tampa Bay Rays

Toronto fell 6-2 in the series opener against the Rays at Tropicana Field, with a costly error by second baseman Aaron Hill proving too difficult to fight back from.  “I’m not going to fault my guys for playing hard,” Monday night’s starter Brett Cecil said.  “I’ve got to take it upon myself.”  The Blue Jays had won four straight against the Rays in the season series, but now trail 7-6 with last night’s loss.  Offensively, the team has been led by outfielder Jose Bautista, recently named AL Player of the Week for August 23-29.  Over those seven days, he hit .500 with eight extra-base hits and four home runs.  Bautista currently leads the majors with 42 home runs.  The club owns a 33-36 mark away from the Rogers Centre this season, including a 12-11 record on the road.  Toronto is a disappointing 7-13 as a road underdog of +125 to +150 this season (-360) and the total is 10-9 O/U in those contests.
