It\u2019s kinda\u2019 hard making a concrete pick at this point, particularly with several big-name free agents sure to make impacts wherever they sign, but if someone put a gun to my head right now and forced me to make a pick, I\u2019d go with the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n<p>Say what you want about the Rays, but the team is loaded with gifted young pitchers who comprise arguably the best starting staff in all of baseball!<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the Fringe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arizona Diamondbacks +1400<br \/>\nLos Angeles Dodgers +1400<br \/>\nNew York Mets +1400<br \/>\nCleveland Indians +1600<br \/>\nToronto Blue Jays +2500<br \/>\nChicago White Sox +2500<br \/>\nMinnesota Twins +2500<br \/>\nSt. Louis Cardinals +2500<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/2385\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\" title=\"Betus World Series Preview\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sportsimagestore.com\/showbanner.asp?affid=11892&amp;banid=2385\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Like I said, nothing is etched in stone just yet. One of these teams could land a big-time free agent that could put them over the top.
