A 25-game turnaround for the Rays? Ahead of Boston and Toronto?
Well, yes. Toronto need everything to go right for them and they've already started the season with Rolen and Ryan out. They'll lose a lot of low-scoring games and at the end of the season it'll cost them.
Boston have Bartolo Colon for starting pitching depth but overall they suffer huge dropoffs when guys get injured or need a day off.
The Rays on the other hand have decent depth all around and are less likely to be derailed by a few bad knocks. throw in Evan Longoria and I think they can push the Yankees to the wire.
I was tempted to switch them and the Yankees for the division title as well, but cool as that would be I'd have to give the Yankees (marginally) better odds.
Baltimore, well, it's going to be a long season at Camden Yards.

ROY?
As I mentioned before, I'd go with Adam Jones if he hadn't lost his eligibility by a few ABs last year and whilst I think Longoria probably should win it, I think the Rays will hold him back late enough that he has too much to do to catch up with...
