MLB power rankings: Low expectations, odds for Arizona Diamondbacks in 2021 season

The Arizona Diamondbacks entered the 2020 season considered by some to be a possible World Series contender.

They won't have to worry about that in 2021 after a 25-35 record in 2020.

Early MLB power rankings were released for the 2021 season after the Los Angeles' Dodgers took home the World Series title on Tuesday night and you have to scroll down a while to find the Diamondbacks.

That's what happens when you finish last in your division the previous season.

BetOnline put Arizona at 66/1 to win the World Series in 2021.

Just six teams had lower odds than the Diamondbacks.

Arizona entered the 2020 season at 50/1 to win take home the World Series title.

ESPN: Diamondbacks ranked No. 25 for 2021 season

David Schoenfield writes: "That was ugly, and the fans are turning on the team after a couple of years of trades (Paul Goldschmidt, Zack Greinke and the deadline deals this season) that don't appear to have returned any front-line talent. Ketel Marte and Eduardo Escobar, so good in 2019, fell off, with Marte inexplicably deciding he no longer wanted to walk. Robbie Ray couldn't throw strikes and was finally traded. Merrill Kelly hurt his shoulder. Madison Bumgarner didn't win a game. The problem for 2021? The Diamondbacks had the second-oldest lineup in the NL (six of their top eight regulars were 29 or older). Bumgarner now looks like a bad $80 million gamble. They're only a season removed from going 85-77, so there is rebound potential, but the Snakes are a mess at the moment."

Alex Pavlovic writes: "Madison Bumgarner had a 6.48 ERA in his first season in Arizona and allowed 13 homers in nine starts, but he finished on a high note, throwing back-to-back five-inning shutouts and allowing just four hits while striking out 11. Let's hope a normal offseason gets Bumgarner back on track. The game is more interesting when he's able to attack hitters."

Bleacher Report: Diamondbacks No. 26 in rankings

Joel Reuter writes: "Arguably the most disappointing team of the 2020 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks looked poised to make a run at a playoff spot after adding Madison Bumgarner and Starling Marte to a team that quietly won 85 games in 2019. Instead, a disastrous 2-18 stretch of games in late August and early September torpedoed their hopes of contending, Bumgarner flopped in the first season of a five-year, $85 million contract, and Marte ended up traded at the deadline. Right-hander Zac Gallen looks like a building block in the rotation, and the farm system is among the deepest in baseball, but their hopes of short-term contention when they traded Paul Goldschmidt for MLB-ready pieces might have been misguided. Expect a quiet offseason as they continue to retool."

The Diamondbacks are scheduled to open their 2021 season on April 1 against the San Diego Padres in San Diego.
