Mike Says: The Rattlers defense kept only 1 opponent under 26 points last season. That will need to change to get back to where they were about 10 years ago (70-26 from 1999-2006). Coach Soto has his hands full for his first season. Expect them to finish the regular season at 2-8 or 3-7 and are a longshot to make the playoffs.

Chris Says: Mark Soto has his work cut out for him as he takes over a Rattler team that has seen better days. Nobody really expects them to make a playoff run this year and 3 or 4 wins is probably the most they can hope for.
