Rays Look in 2024

Shan McLanahan is out to start the 2024 season for the Rays. That leaves Zach Eflin as one of the mainstays in the Tampa rotation. The Rays have always had great starting pitching, but there are plenty of questions, especially going against the rugged American League East. Randy Arozarena leads the offensive attack for Tampa, with guys like Yandy Diaz, Jose Siri and Brandon and Jose Lowe in the lineup. This roster really did not make much of change from 2023 to 2024.

Rays 2024 Schedule

Major League Baseball is in its second season of a fair and balanced schedule, so less American League East teams, and play every team in baseball. For the Rays, that is likely a breath of fresh air to not be assaulted by the American League East teams as much. Tampa will start the season for a four game weekend series to finish March against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays remain at home and host the Texas Rangers for three. Their first road series is in Colorado, and a stop in Anaheim.

To finish the season, the Rays will play six on the road. First, it is three games at the Detroit Tigers. Then, the final three are at Fenway park against the Boston Red Sox. The final home stand just before that features three against the Red Sox, and three against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Rays Rundown Review

Well, the Tampa Bay Rays are going to come into the season with very low expectations from afar. Teams are already counting on the Yankees, Orioles and or Blue Jays to reach the postseason. Tampa Bay is kind of playing with house money. But, in the end, the only bet we would likely take is the Tampa Bay Rays to win the division at +650. With five teams in the division, obviously there are less hurdles. We like the number of $100 to win $650 for that type of bet. This team just does not seem to have the talent to go all the way in the postseason. We will pass on 16/1 to win the American League and 35/1 to win the World Series. Better betting opportunities out there. Enjoy the season and good luck!
