There is an interesting trait regarding the Tampa Bay Rays. No team exceeds MLB betting expectations more than the Rays. Each year the Rays have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. Yet Tampa Bay annually contends for the American League pennant. On the other hand, the New York Yankees consistently fail to meet the hype. New York boasts one of the highest payrolls in the game. Since 2001, the Yankees have had one World Series title (2009). Also, that was their last American League pennant. Gamblers are frustrated that New York consistently falls behind the budget convenience Rays.
