Even with the big pick up's I don't see the Yank's doing much this year. They might make the playoffs as a wild card, but not gonna goto the series. I would love the see the Cardinals make a playoff run this year, but I'm not sure they have fixed the pitching rotation. (Honestly I haven't looked at the rosters yet) I would love to see the Cards and the Rays make the series this year.
The only problem with the Rays is the expectations will be a lot higher this year. Don't know if they will crack under that pressure.
