Would anyone have predicted that the Rays at 26-15 would be in first place in the AL East at the one-quarter mark of the season? Or that they would be on a path to win 102 games on the year?
According to Las Vegas oddsmakers, the Rays are now 15/1 to win the World Series, a four-way tie with the Indians, Twins, and Phillies. The Cubs and Red Sox are 10/1; the Yankees are 7/1; the Dodgers are 6/1; and the favorites to win it all are the Astros at 5/1. (vegasinsider.com)
A second oddsmaker puts the Rays in seventh place, behind the Astros, Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, and Red Sox. (oddsshark.com)
But really, who thought that a quarter of the way through the 2019 season, the Rays would be part of this conversation?
