To be honest, probably nobody since its very rare...but my 2 options are:
Marlins
Reds
They each have some good young position players and also good young starting pitching. I don't see either making a run past MAYBE grabbing a wild card berth, but those are my best potential answers to your question (if a few key guys can make the jump to the next level).
FWIW...I used the idea that theyre underrated and bet on each game played by those two teams (RL) and looks like heading to 3-0 start to season on them if Marlins hold on today. So what are your thoughts on your own question, Vinny?

Marlins have the pieces.
Good lineup, good core of Ramirez/Uggla. 2 spark plugs in Maybin and Bonafacio.
Pitching staff has a legit ace with Nolasco. Has good depth with Johnson and Volstad.

Yea, I thought he was looking more along the lines of a complete longshot comparable to Rays last year. No matter what they do, I don't think the Rays can qualify as that this year (8 to 1 wouldnt be an out-of-nowhere longshot like last year's Rays). That's why I threw out teams who most books offer at much higher rates than the Rays ever will be this season.
