I've got Tampa +1600, and that bullpen makes them a dangerous team regardless of who they face
I agree they are dangerous, not like they can't win......
It's just hard to overcome teams that can spend at will when you throw nickels around like manhole covers.
League average payroll in 2020? Approximately 60 million dollars.
Tampa? Right at 28.3 million, only teams who spent less Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
The other end of the spectrum, Yanks tops at just over 109 million. Dodgers spent 2nd most at 108 million.
Ironically Houston in at 4th most.
If Tampa wins that means they knocked off the 1st, 2nd, and 4th teams that spent the most money this season while they were 28th.
I live in Tampa but no matter where I was from I'd be rooting for the Rays, love when these teams with no payroll take down all the big spenders.
Good luck Kane.
